I said that as well.

Indeed, the numbers wouldn't be hard to verify either. In fact, it'd be quite easy; just an hour of number crunching in Excel with UCR numbers. If indeed true that US crime would equal that of Switzerland, it would be quite sobering.

The numbers are likely to be illogically skewed, meaning that the numbers would still rely on the black population existing, but that no single black person commits a crime.

So, per capita, we may be on the level of Switzerland, but to be so, we would need unreasonable circumstances.

What??? Your logic is equal to that of a 2 year old. Of course there are places that are less safe, but that has nothing to do with assuming all black men are criminals.

So, when a white person is racist, it's bigotry and ignorance. But when a black person is racist, it's human nature.

While there isn't an official rule book, your race game seems pretty easy to get the hang of.

Reading is fundamental. I never said racism is justified. I'm telling you the reasons people justify it, whites justify there's by saying blacks are inferior and criminals and blacks by saying whitey has held me down.

If you aren't aware of this, I can only imagine that you skipped history class or are just totally clueless.

Wait, wouldn't it just be human nature to feel unsafe in a predominantly black neighborhood?

For a racist person like you yes.

Don't type like a middle-school flunky and expect to be taken seriously, much less question another's educational achievements.

Having said that, you really need to get over slavery. Hell, you've probably never even picked a tomato from your own garden.

Your ancestors (who were actually victims of white oppression) would be insulted and disgusted with all the opportunities, great standard of living, and social civility and equality you enjoy in 2013, yet, you insist on burying your face in a box of tissues because you are too damn lazy to rise from victimhood.

LOL!! Page 1 or 2 in your "I'm a poor, poor black person, and everyone hates me" playbook?

Tell white people to get over it first and then black people will be able to move on. Heck if anything there seems to be some weird obsession with black people on this forum and I imagine it probably translates into real life as well. Most black people just want to be left alone and not judged off the craziness of a few. Just as I presume you don't want black people walking around and assuming you're a klansman because you are white.

You do realize black women have the high rate of college entrance, even higher then white men. So I think we'll be just fine.
