"Does anyone have the stats on race and crime in America? I will bet he has a statistical base for the hypothetical but from the PC standpoint he is toast."

The figure that has been posted numerous times on the FR is Black males = ~~6% of the USA population but account for ~~50% of crimes. Now, I have no idea as to what type of crimes comprise that number.

I cannot speak to the accuracy of those numbers but I think any sane person would say it is NOT 6% of all crimes but a number significantly higher than their percentage in the population.

The FBI Uniform Crime Reports for 2003 breakdown by race show blacks being arrested for 48% of homicides, 54% for robberies, and 33% of rapes (while being 12% of the population)
