I wonder what the figures would be if you took New Orleans out of the mix. I know that the Tennessee numbers would be a lot different if Memphis was not included.
Europeans used to complain about our (American) high violence/crime numbers until someone subtracted out the Black numbers and it was discovered that our numbers were the same as the Europeans.
It's like that everywhere. Take Detroit out of Michigan, Chicago out of Illinois, Oakland out of the Bay Area and on and on. Take out the predatory, criminal black underclass from the crime rates and we'd have a safe nation. Homicide rates are actually falling in this country --except black on black homicide, which is rising!
But yet, as a nation, we continue to pretend that what I said is not true to the point where I won't be surprised if this post is removed.
