A black girl I went to college with years ago thought the best solution for rapist was piano wire. She had NOOOOOO use for them.

“In 2005, homicide victimization rates for blacks were 6 times higher than the rates for whites.”

“In 2005, offending rates for blacks were more than 7 times higher than the rates for whites.”

“Although slightly less true now than before, most murders are intraracial.”

Much more data at the link posted.

We need to see "hispanic" backed out of the numbers to see what "traditional Americans" are up to.

Old stats from the '90's showed that the American "angry white male" is about as violent as the English or Belgian white male.

And what’s percentage of murder is done by blacks and what about hispanics, whites, and other misc minorities?

Post #2 is a quote from the article. Most are murdered by people of their own race. Hispanic (Latino) numbers are generally lumped in with white statistics from what I've read. The hispanic numbers are not politically correct to discuss.

What I’m curious about is the breakdown of the murderers based on race, regardless of their victim’s race.

From 1976-2005, 59.3% of all felony murders where the race of the perpetrator was known were commited by black offenders.

Trash comes in all colors, but the hip-hop thug culture has really overachieved.

It's difficult to find. Your question got me curious and I have yet to locate an accurate source. This US Department of Justice page seems to fit in with the other sources I've read that claim Latino crime statistics are added into the white category. They are listed as a separate victim category however. It makes no sense to me.http://www.ojp.gov/bjs/cvict_v.htm#prace

The category ‘other’ is most likely Asian, Native American,Arab etc. combined. The only race categories delineated are black and white.

“BUSH’S FAULT!”

I can kind of relate a little to being upset with at least our legal system. It seems there is some sort of tolerance for black on black crime. You can bet your dollar if white kids were killing each other at the rate black kids do, it would be called a national emergency. It’s fine to be conservative, I am, but you still got to be willing to call a spade a spade, even during the times when it is outside the status quo. I all for people being honest. I don’t like double standards either.

Look at the cities with the highest crime rates in the country (Camden, Detroit, East St. Louis) and show me the "hispanic crime wave" that is in those cities. (Crickets chirping).

The first city I googled had this to show for Detroit...

6 of the 10 most wanted was Hispanic... and really 6 out of 9 because OBL was listed.

The Crickets are screaming...

http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/topten/fugitives/fugitives.htm

Camden had 2 out of 8 Hispanic..

http://www.co.camden.nj.us/sheriff/fugdomes.htm

St. Louis had 3 out of 10...

“So you really do think it’s the presidents fault, it that your point?”

I think rather then worrying about a bunch of people who shouldn’t even be here, these concerns should take a back seat to some of the more pressing concerns. It does disappoint me a little, because he has made the claim to care, yet he cares about some things I don’t think are real important, while ignoring real tragedies. Yes, I am a little disppionted, I can’t deny it, sorry. I can see why black people are a little pissed off. Their suffering in this area has been completely ignored, when it shouldn’t be. How dare Bush worry about people who shouldn’t even be hear when he ignores this glaring issue.
