Glad you think I should get an award though
You should as I thought your comment was hilarous.

You know who the black people I know talk crap about?

Seems like most black people don't fear getting involved and aren't like a lot of white people who often figure "Its not my business" and don't want to be sued. Sad how people just looked and kept going.

Only got two categories that apply. Here's the other one.

Offenses against the family and children:

Whites 66.3% Blacks 31.1

The category doesn't matter since black are disproportionately high in every category except DUI. Draw your own conclusions as to why that is the case.

You mean stereotypes like middle-aged white males are perverts who rape children?

Read the stats. Blacks, not whites, are twice as likely as any other group to commit a sex crime like raping a child, but you'll never see a black male trying to pull a child into a car because that would be racist. White guy? Sure, fine, go right ahead and paint them as perverts and child killers. Just don't ever use a black man as the pervert because that would be racist.

Still waiting to see the reaction of the two white guys. I saw a white female, an Asian with a child and a middle-aged couple. I didn't see the birth certificates on the middle-aged couple. I would say he was possible hispanic and, being NYC, may not have even understood English.

Sure would be nice if the blacks who are so happy to applaud the rescue of this child from this predictably white male pervert don't come back next week with some garbage about Rush Limbaugh's "thinly veiled" racist remarks, stereotyping or profiling.

Most black people don't fear getting involved...how many black people did you see in that video?

It is very sad that people kept going and didn't say anything, however this is T.V. they can cut edit cut and edit all they want. Also...I do think most black people would help out in a situation like that just like I think MOST white, mexican, chinese,etc. people would also help out.

This is not about race and it is VERY sad that people turn it into a race issue.

Momonkey you are dead wrong in this (I was going to let it pass b/c ive debated so much with PGH but you repeated this crock of crap twice).

Whites are involved, investigated for and arrested far more than any other race combined in regards to White collar crimes and sex related crimes.
Its not even a close race dude. Do not make me take the time finding this information.

I want you to first prove where you got your information. Because I know for a fact you are dead wrong

Like I said opinions are one thing but this crap you fed as fact is so ridiculous, I'm calling you out on it.

Blacks are doing enough crimes in many categories as it is. Don't put us in a category we've actually shown to not commit as much of (Relative to Caucasians)

Unless I see specific crimes (not categories) broken down by race, no one can claim the moral high ground when it comes to sex crimes against children. And offenses against families and children could involve anything from domestic violence against a spouse to children getting spankings.

You're assuming that the specific categories you've posted include only one type of crime.

Wow guys, I actually got tears in my eyes watching that video. I don't even care that they were black, it was the fact that they both at the exact same time started running for that guy. Good stuff.

Last I heard blacks were 12% of the population.

Table 43 - Crime in the United States 2008 (http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/cius2008/data/table_43.html - broken link)

24% means twice as likely.
