A former cop of many years on the force has told me that in regards to sex crimes, the usual pattern is that if the perp is a white male, the crime was molesting boys. If the perp is a Latino male, the crime was molesting girls. If the perp is a black male, the crime was rape. If the perp was a Muslim, the SPCA was called in.

(just kidding on the last one)

(not really)

I really don't understand why Gonzales wants to continue to pile calumny on black men by keeping the real numbers secret.

Because Gonzales is Hispanic, and revealing the real numbers would reveal what a huge number of Hispanic thugs we have in this country? Just a guess . . .

For 2005:

Black Murderers = 8,000 * 0.93 + 8,500 * 0.15 = 8,715
White Murderers = 8,500 * 0.85 + 8,000 * 0.07 = 7,785

This is assuming each murderer only killed one victim which isn’t likely meaning there are really fewer murderers than there are victims which can’t be computed from this information provided. “White” and “black” aren’t really defined either...

Given the above assumption, 52.82% of all murders in 2005 were committed by blacks even though they represent 13% of the population.

Assuming 300,000,000 people in the US, 1 out of every 4,475 blacks in the US murdered somebody in 2005. 1 out of every 33,526 whites in the US murdered somebody in 2005. Therefore a black person is 7.492 times more likely to murder someone than a white. Assuming I did my math right and the information in the article is correct...

Naw, I live in Fairfax County VA. We have the death penalty, 5 years + for commiting a crime and having a gun around when you do it, and a very diverse community of folks from everywhere in the world who really don't want to put up with the kind of nonsense they experienced "back home".

I think we have one of the lowest crime rates in America as a result.

DC, though, is just across the river ~ 5 miles from my house. Now they got some crime Fur Shur.

What you seem to have missed is that Hispanic (and black) criminals are classed as black, while Hispanic (and white) criminals are classed as white.

There are enough hispanic criminals in this country that by backing them out of these numbers and reporting them as hispanic, it's going to change the black and white numbers dramatically.

BTW, hispanics are rapidly catching up with blacks when it comes to imprisonment. You'll find that most of the numbers on imprisonment are 3 to 5 years out of date.

We had a thread here several months back that discussed the fact that hispanic gangs seem to be targeting non gang blacks for crimes of violence for the purpose of intimidating blacks into abandoning their neighborhoods. The hispanic gangs then take over and usher in their compatriots whom they then rob on a regular and recurring basis.

Naw! You think? He wouldn’t do that would he? Certainly Chucky Schumer would have complained about it by now. Or is he in on the secret too.

Much of this can be laid on the steps of Johnsons Great Society.

Yes, thanks, and good work. It seems my guess was pretty close.

Your conclusion is wrong. That's because the data does not properly represent what we know commonsensically to be "black" or "white" people in this country.

The hispanics have to be separately identified first.

Yes, hispanics are ALSO classified as “white” or “black”. They are not separately reported. Instead, white hispanic criminals are categorized as “white” in this data. That obscures their contribution to America’s murders.

Good points but I prefer to remain color blind. I think (after raising the bar for conviction) that rapists should be crucified or impaled. Done properly, death takes about 3 days. Done consistently, rapes will drop by about 80% in six months. The rate would be higher for other crimes meriting death like child molestation, murder, armed robbery, kidnapping, etc. I’m willing to throw in DUI also.

I’m not writing this for comic effect. The never ending suffering and expense we tolerate in the name of being “compassionate” is sickening.

...What percentage of murders are carried out by blacks? About half? ...

A 13% minority, black men account for 45% of homicides. There is a segment of black men that are criminal and severely disturbed out of proportion to the general population. Address this and the US will be a much safer society for decent people.

US DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 2005

Percent distribution of single-offender Homicides based on race of victims and perceived race of offender

Victim's Race Victim Count %Total Count White Offender Black Offender Other Offender
White only 5,720 53.7% 44.6% 8.8% 0.3%
Black only 4,838 45.4% 3.2% 42.2% 0.0%
Other 102 0.9% 0.2% 0.2% 0.5%
