"Yes, it was insensitive of Mr. Bennett to notice the fact that black Americans commit violent crimes in highly disproportionate numbers."
We must be sensitive at all times.
Actually, I didn't even hear it as declarative as that blacks commit crimes in higher proportions than other sectors of the population. I understood it, perhaps naively, as him saying that if you remove ANY segment of the population there will likely be less crime than if those people existed.
