BYW, I live in Alabama. I know and admire many black people, just as I know and admire many whites. I’m also aware that there is a ton of white ne’er-do-wells, meth-heads, punks, etc., as well as black thugs and gang-bangers. All this interracial scum is just that—scum. Both black and white people deserve better.

However, it is a fact that most violent crimes here are committed by blacks against other blacks. If the black population was excised from the state—and I’m not in any way advocating that, but if it was, violent crime here would be like South Dakota.

Now, a lot of robberies and burglaries are done by both whites and blacks. I don’t have those statistics but there’s a lot of white punk scum stealing from hardworking people that need to be locked up. Still, and even so, making up a little over a quarter of the overall population of Alabama, blacks still account for 45% of the non-violent crime.

We all ought to be wondering what as a nation we should really do to fix this.
