Incoherent ramblings of someone trying to make a point where there isn't one to make.

Just as an example.

On the other hand, although people often see criminal behavior as a symptom of poverty, the quantity of murder committed by white people specifically in the United States casts some doubt on this. Per capita GDP is considerably higher here than in France — and the white population in America is considerably richer than the national average — and yet we have more white murderers.

Per capita GDP does not measure individuals wealth, and even if it did it says nothing about the wealth or lack of wealth of those committing murders.

{edit} The best info I can find has the average income in France at $58,000 and around $52,000 in the U.S.

at last you have an article that is so full of BS that the owner can't see it. 3172 white get murder by 2630 white but 2695 blacks get murder by 2447 blacks. yes its a little higher on the white side

but here the kicker, black population is only 14%

How were there more black male murderers than white male murderers when they make up such a tiny percentage of the population?

Waiting for AlterNut to do a story on the above. Not holding my breath.

Probably because the only thing that is staggeringly high is black on black murders.
