I keep hearing reports about how wrong profiling is and that hoodies aren't bad. Yet the simple fact is that young Black males murder at 10 times the rate as young White and Hispanic men combined
Of course not all Black males are murders but is it really unreasonable to not be at least cautious when confronted with an unknown young black male especially when dressed in urban attire?
Yes, absolutely, there are pockets of racism in America. But among the myriad problems with a "blame the system" narrative is that it obscures and often silences far greater problems than white on black racist violence.
Martin's tragic death is a statistical outlier. More whites are killed by blacks than blacks killed by whites (or "white Hispanics"). And far, far more blacks are killed by other blacks. Indeed, if we're going to use the prism of race to analyze murder rates, then the real epidemic is that of black murderers. Heather Mac Donald of the Manhattan Institute notes that recent data show black males age 14 to 24 commit homicides at a rate nearly 10 times higher than that of young white and Latino males combined.
And yet, New York Times columnist Charles M. Blow says "the burden of black boys in America" is fear of racist assaults. MSNBC has handed over vast swaths of airtime to its in-house huckster, Sharpton.
No doubt, white — and "white Hispanic" — prejudice is a problem for young black men, but the notion that it is the singular or chief "burden of black boys in America" is nonsense. Alas, the very people begging for an honest conversation on race will likely accuse you of racism for saying so.
and those black dudes go to jail,justice is served.
plus everybody has individual rights regardless of what group they deserve to.
You have no rights to get out of your car and confront anybody,if you are not law enforcements.

Why don't we break it down according to socio-economic status? I'm sure we'd find that violent crimes are more common among all people of very low SES, which minorities make up a large part of.

That's not true even controlling for income Blacks kill at far greater rates.
