How does that differ from the percentage of non-Hispanic Whites in the population? It doesn't. Like I said, there's no anomaly in that statistic.

Even that stat may be somewhat misleading, however, because they do not seem to be separating Hispanics out of the White category.

Yes, Hispanics were separated out of that number.

Face it, you were incorrect....AGAIN.

I used YOUR information to prove you WRONG

These stats keep getting repeated but the reality is the most abused children are the ones born into poverty regardless of race. This stat is more representative of the fact that the Perpetrators of the crimes are not being prosecuted and the victims fear coming out which we will never know the actual number. If you surveyed how many White and Black woman were molested as children you would find the rates the same, not including those who don't come forward. The following is just one of many articles on the topic.

"If black women are more aware of the many factors that contribute to keeping silent and how they can protect their children, they will be more likely to speak out." | Journalism Center on Children & Families

Where's the stat for Hispanics?

Um... NO.

Let's look at some more precise statistics from the Bureau of Justice Statistics...

*Among imprisoned violent offenders, about equal percentages were white (48.0%) or black (48.1%). By contrast, nearly 70% of child victimizers were white, while just over 25% of child victimizers were black.
Child Victimizers: Violent Offenders and their Victims | Crime Magazine

Compare the crime percentages to the population percentages:

White:
Child Victimizers: nearly 70%
Population: 72.4%

They closely match.

Now, here's a problem...

Black:
Child Victimizers: over 25%
Population: 12.6%
USA QuickFacts from the US Census Bureau

Blacks are victimizing children at 2 times the rate of what would be expected given their percentage of the population.

this chart from the DOJ shows that blacks are overrepresented [i.e., more likely to be] among child molesters.



13% of the population, 20-24% of the child molesters.

sorry, poppy

Octomom is half Arabic and the father of her children is not white. Her actions don't speak for white people at all.

However, it is not our responsibility to appeal to the posters on the board to be poster children and admit to everything wrong (or perceivably wrong) with the black community, especially in a thread that had nothing to do with race to begin with. If anyone wants to discuss the particular issues that include blacks disproportionately, create your own thread where it can be discussed.
100% true. It really was an issue on it's own until someone interjected race. You can interject race, Nationailty or religion into most any topic on this board!

You have yet to make your case with documented FACTS. You seem to be cherry picking the 1991 study which is okay...just post a link to the actual results where you are drawing your conclusions from so that we may understand your math.

Calipoppy's blatantly false assertion has already been debunked with BJS, DOJ, and Census data.

With the crime, drugs, poverty, etc and the culture of glorifying unemployment, gangs, drug dealers, not taking responsibility, etc I can't imagine things will ever change.

Some of the choice quotes:

Mother, 12 children leave motel for new home

No comment simply unbelievable...
