It's racial* rather than cultural. Black majority societies, whether in Africa or the Americas, are hyper-violent, with homicide rates that are a factor of magnitude (10x) higher than American numbers (which are also inflated by black crime rates). Black Americans and black majority countries in the Americas are nothing like Africans culturally, but they share the same genetic characteristics, with the odd Asian or European admixture somewhere. Remove the black population and the crimes committed by black perps from the stats, and the US murder rate plunges to Nordic country levels.
* Note that this is not to assert any kind of collective responsibility for the actions of black criminals. Obviously not all blacks are criminals, but the reality is roughly 50% of criminals in the US are black. This is merely a statistical observation useful for figuring out whether to run or cross the street when you notice several individuals approaching you from behind.
Scandelous!
I have never admitted to anything so racist in all my life! < /sarcasm>
“Remove the black population and the crimes committed by black perps from the stats, and the US murder rate plunges to Nordic country levels.”
Out of all the many, many articles on crime, etc. that I’ve read I’ve never seen that spelled out before. Of course it makes sense, although I will note I’m taking your math at face value.
How would Hispanics figure in? LOL white-Hispanics and Hispanic-Hispanics I guess I mean.
