I have absolutely no clue what you are trying to say and obviously you do not either.

I'm amazed we're even arguing about this.
I didn't argue that. I will argue that part of that is also because blacks get convicted at a higher rate than white's who can afford a lawyer to get charges dismissed.

A fraction of the list I could comply. Then we can start with the molestation of children by white teachers and religious figures.

Why does it matter who does the killing? Violence is less so as long as it's your own child? I think you just enforced my point for me.

The neighborhood surrounding United Center (United Center Park), home of the Bulls and the Blackhawks, consistently ranks among the most dangerous neighborhoods in the country.

Everyone knows if you go to a game at United Center, you get OUT of there afterwards ASAP.

Yes, you did. Your list was obviously meant to suggest that whites commit as much or more crime than blacks on a percentage basis relative to population. Otherwise, there would have been no point in posting that list in this thread.

There are plenty of whites who can't afford a lawyer.

Whites who can afford a lawyer generally don't get caught up in crime.

They're too busy looking at their stock portfolios or deciding where to go on vacation next.

Are you suggesting that it's only whites who abuse and molest children?

I would beg to differ.

Why the need to define violence down to percentages?

And they all got away with massive crime. Fraud was rampant on Wall Street which created a huge mess and how many were held responsible for that? None.

Sell some CD's in a parking lot and get jumped and killed. Crash the economy and you get richly rewarded.

Obama (who is black) had the opportunity to ask his Justice Department under Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch (who are both black) to prosecute those crimes and apparently chose not to do so.

Instead, he invited the criminals into his administration.

One of those criminals (Franklin Raines, who is black) was a good friend of his.

Complain to Obama, not to me.
