Really? FBI statics say you're wrong. I know it's an inconvenient fact, but it is still a fact.

FBI 2011 statistics say that there were 8,341 murder arrest. White: 4,000 Black: 4,149 Other: 192.

You're post is an epic fail... I know that being a white male Republican that you do not want to admit it, but it's not only minorities that commit crimes.

I just think he's being used to say things that some people are afraid to say out loud.

We all know that there are Blacks who will speak out against certain dysfunctions. However, those persons are speaking on behalf of the concerns of Black people, and of trying to make things better for Blacks. They aren't being used for some kind of agenda. This is something some people aren't getting. And I think some people don't care because some people want to hear another Black man say "Blacks are scum".
It is easy for those whites that have no contact with blacks at all to say "I told you so" whenever they have a discussion regarding black people

So are you comparing blacks to everyone else? What kind of statistical information are you reading from?

And what does this have to do with black males committing the vast majority of murders in this country? Do you even know what the Vietnam war was all about? Do you understand war?

Apparently you either, do not fully understand how statistics are created or you are cherry picking what you want. The statistic that you are reading from clearly state that those are those CONVICTED and are in FEDERAL PRISON. Each one of those results are the end result of other things as well and therefore cannot be the best representation of why the black federal incarseration is so high

White's committed 6,578,133 crimes in 2011 and blacks committed 2,697,539.

The problem isn't a "black" issue, because most blacks who aren't living in low income areas aren't committing most of these crimes. It's a culture issue with the people who live in these neighborhoods. If a white guy was raised in the same environment, then his mentality would most likely be the same... If a Hispanic kid is raised around gangs in California, chances are he'll be a gang bangger... Being a certain race does not automatically equate to being a criminal. It's an environmental issue.


You better stop making sense or you are going to make some fool's head explode

Interesting that it's not the responsibility of the black males committing the crimes. Oh right, it's society's fault. Silly me, I forgot.

Hmmm. That would make it 48% white, 50% black, and 2% other. Not half and half.
Regardless of how you want to spin it, a segment comprising less than 10% of the population yet committing half the murders indicates something is wrong with these people.
