There is a strong correlation between illegitimacy and criminal behavior - lack of a committed dad leads to lots more crime.
Blacks have a 70% illegitimacy rate. Whites are around 35%.
Twice as many fatherless families, many for the second and third generation, leads to twice as many violent deaths.

CDC- same people we’re supposed to trust on ebola.

That’s real comforting. They probably think if they can bring it here and kill mostly whitey, that’ll bring about more epidemic equality.

After all, socialism is just misery more widely distributed to everyone.

Much more than twice the rate,
And negros make up only 12 percent of the population.

The best compilation of those statistics is in this report, I think:

Abortion kills an even higher percentage of blacks... I wonder when we’ll see that promoted by the media.

In 2006 the Department of Justice issued a report on violent felons in large urban counties. It covered the period from 1990 to 2002, and included the 75 most populous counties in the United States. The study accounted for over half of all the murders in the United States in the covered period.

Revealed in the study was a simple breakdown of the demographics of the murderers that is not commonly available. Murderers were divided into three groups. Blacks were the most numerous at 46%. Hispanics were next at 27 percent. Non-Hispanic whites were last at 23 percent.

While the study does not account for all murders in the period studied, it accounts for more than half and almost certainly slightly understates the percentages of Black murderers, because the latest FBI statistics (for 2010) show that when all the murders in the U.S are taken into account, the percentage of Black murderers is over 53 percent.
