I was waiting for one of these to show up. Instead of acknowledging that there is a problem, you try your hardest find other people doing bad things, as if that somehow erases all of the facts.
There are tons of problems. We want to blame poor blacks for most of them.

In terms of overt violence (homicide, assaults) Black communities in the USA are much more violent than other places. But there are passive forms of violence that rich White people commit, like a rich factory owner pouring toxic pollutants in the air that will cause people nearby to get cancer and asthma. In both cases death and assault occur. Overt violence by the poor makes the news daily, passive violence by the rich rarely does.
Poor cities, no matter what color the people there are, supposedly have higher numbers of violent crimes than more affluent cities, but not a higher percentage of violent crimes than poor rural areas that generally have more white people. So I understand that point of view.
We discussed something similar in my sociology class way back in 1992. That's all I remember, but it made sense.

Those who think they can steal what others have earned because they don't have it but think they should have it merely because they exist.
I will make one statement and drop it. That is what QE did. They even already "had it". No one is complaining about that. You also failed to point out the problem you noted above.
May I please ask where did you find the above stats(FAKE).
Oh just stop with your only defense is calling the harsh truths "fake". If you think that black communities are so safe to live in, then why doesn't anyone want to live there by choice? How about YOU move your precious family and possessions into a black majority neighborhood?

You left out "black", was that intentional or just a careless omission?
Yes, I work with many "good" black people from poor backgrounds at work, but their values and morals are messed up. One black co-worker screwed up a jury trial because he was the lone holdout in not voting guilty in a situation where a Vietnamese man was being tried for a DUI. My co-worker kept gleefully texting me during that day "if it's not murder, then no one is guilty" and "let the Chinaman go free!" The other eleven jurors were very frustrated with him. Then another co-worker who is a union shop steward only puts her energy into defending her black brothers and sisters. No matter how awful a black worker is, she always is on their side. When one black man made an older Hispanic woman cry, her reply was "anyone can cry". And when the (black) union treasurer was caught stealing from our funds, she told us, "but he's a very nice man". Then another black co-worker explained to me that when he has his white work shirt on, "he's all business", but when the shirt is off, he's all street ready and that no one better mess with him. Again, though, it's that black macho culture where they feel the need to be strong, so that no one can dominate them.
I have more stories about black co-workers, but it also validates what Trump said about the Charlottesville incident. There is good in everyone, and there can also be some darkers sides too. IMO someone can be a good person overall, but still not support gay marriage. Someone can be a good person despite preferring to live and work amongst people of their same race, culture and traditions.
If our planet can survive (and I doubt that), most likely in a thousand years, we will be a truly global and diverse society where the majority of people will share the same culture, morals and values. Right now though, IMO blacks from poor urban areas have a toxic culture that is holding them back from economic opportunities and integrating with the rest of society. It's really less about skin colour and all about culture clashes between poor urban folk and those who are higher up on the socio-economic scale.
it's hilarious how white folks ignore their own peoples violent crime to focus on Black crime that's usually no where close to where they live.
focusing on Fox News Chicago updates while their neighbor down the street raises a meth addict who will assault them once they go on a binge
