If a family member of mine is raped or murdered, I am not going to blame his race, but instead the offender. It would hurt just as much and I would be just as livid no matter the offender’s race.
Now, you FBI statistics may be correct but one event, not matter how tragic, can be attributed to the race of the offender or the victim.
I really do not see that fact that the victim is white and the alleged offenders are black makes it any more tragic.
So, what is you solution?
Should we imprison all black males because they are seven times more likely to commit murder?

All I’ve done is cite statistics. I don’t think I’ve attributed anything to the race of an offender or victim, or made any statement about what scenario would be more tragic.
I have concluded that the statistics indicate that, when in proximity to either black or white individuals, one is seven or eight times more likely to be a victim of crime perpetrated by a black offender than a white offender. There’s no other logical conclusion, and the total violent crimes and percentages committed by different races has been consistent over many years.
I don’t have any solutions except education and economic opportunity (which is there for the taking), and an end to the victim culture which some feel justifies their criminal behavior, but I think anyone would be wise to be more cautious when in black neighborhoods, or around black strangers than if around white. Not racism, just probability. And, as I said, Jesse Jackson agrees.
