You know, just 'cause you say it, don't make it true. Homicide, in the vast majority of cases, occurs between people who know each other. Random stabbings as the one you describe are not the norm, even if you believe in your heart that they are.
If I posted at least 50-100 examples of random stuff just from Florida in the last 2-3 years would it change your opinion at all?
Most violent crimes are intraracial, by and large. Homicides are at a roughly 90% clip(86% for Whites and 94% for Blacks from 1976-2005 according to the Bureau of Justice).
What is with all the race murders in Florida. I read all the local news and you cant go a week without a black on white murder in Florida. And half the time the attacks are completely random. Is the south a terrible place for a white person to live in right now and why is this being ignored like it is not happening.

Lets review here.......in your first post, you said murder, specifically.
Yes, I heard about the beating in Gainesville, that was on the news and in the papers.
But, again, you said murder, not beatings.

I never said the Gainesville beating was a murder. The title says "white man beat in Mobile and Gainesville in the name of Trayvon Reply to Thread". In the body I posted about murders in Florida.

No, because one could also post THOUSANDS of examples of the converse. That's the problem with generalizing a few cases, it doesn't reflect the true risk of the event of interest.
