This is a good point since it's true no group of white males passed by in the video. For the record, I'm a white male and I can't stand it when people stereotype about sex crimes and whatnot. White men may commit the majority of these crimes but the key fact misunderstood is that we are not overrepresented. We commit the most because we are the largest group of males. Looking at that sexual offender database of my area I can see that whites most certainly do not have a monopoly or even a clear majority of "pervert" cases.
That said, I think the issue of bystander syndrome needs to be addressed. It's definitely not true with white males everywhere--and I suspect it has regional influence--but you cannot deny there isn't a widespread attitude of "someone else will take care of it". Why take a risk when it's the authorities' job? This nanny-state mentality must be fought and to do so there must be attention on it.
The FBI stats indicate blacks are twice as likely as whites to commit sex crimes.

As a white male, aren't you sick and tired of always being the ones kicking in the door in the alarm commercials?
Can we see a few black males kicking in the door please?
Statistically it should be two white guys, then a black guy.
ok this thread has deteriorated enough, these are the facts; the first humans were black, genetically the differences between the races? trick question there aren't any. and think about this black people in america are 20 percent white now they figure, even better, most everyone in america are descended from someone on the mayflower in 1620 or the arbella in 1630, from those 400 people most people in america are descended from if not many of the colonists because of the small size of the gene pool. and if blacks are 20 percent white they too are descended from the 400 people on the mayflower and the arbella. in fact there could be someone across the country totally unrelated to you that is more genetically similar to you than your own brother because we are just mixing up the same genes over and over again. just something to think about.
Well then you should be uber astounded & pleased that it was two black men who came to the rescue in this scenario.
The two black guys are not the issue. The issue is the the white guy who is being portrayed in a way the perpetuates an erronious racial steriotype that white males disproportionately molest children. The numbers are exactly opposite of what the steriotype that is commonly presented on TV is. Blacks are twice as likely as whites to commit a sex crime. This video is just as racist as Birth Of A Nation, but in a more subtle way.

You're being just as racist as some black guy coming on here w/stats about white guys. Who CARES who does the crime? A crime is a crime, give me a break. I'm not going to sit here & break down who, when, why, what of a certain racial group because I don't have the time nor do I have the inclination. Crime is done by every person of every race & gender so that is all I have to say about it.
so when they say ben affeck and matt damon are 13th cousins its hilarious because we have been here less than 380 years and only go back 14 generations as a people so being a 13th cousin goes all the way back to the founders so ben affeck and matt damon are also your 13th cousins. to say george bush is related to the king of england and all that bull could be true very easily for you too because bush is descended from the same colonists that you are descended from.
I can be very racist, but race doesn't make you who you are inside. All people have a brain, heart, etc, inside. Race is sorta your physical appearence more than anything. Yes, those black guys did the right thing, and it had nothing to do with their appearence or race or ancestry.
You have to wonder about some who comes to a majority white talk board to criticize other African Americans, and especially one who is so quick to correct some one's comment about African American prison rates. I mean the statement could have been left to die on its own but no...
Takes all kinds.
Especially the kinds who hate being black and have eggs
up their a**!

twice as likely to commit a sex crime or just twice as likely to get caught?
how about catholic priests are there twice as many black priests who preyed on kids as white priests?
