The truth about the murder rate in S.F. isn’t politically correct, but I’ll give it to you straight. S.F. has a lower murder rate than most large U.S. cities because African Americans commit homicides at a disproportionately high rate, and San Francisco has a lower African-American population than other large cities. S.F. black population has gone from 14% in 1970 to less than 5% now. They’ve left because they can’t afford the place. And the homicide rate has trended down along with them.

I live in San Francisco, where we have probably the highest rate of marijuana usage in the country, and I encounter delusional people like this regularly.

I see, so the murder rate in SF is lower because it has fewer black folk?

But if all those people smoke pot in SF as you said, and it makes them crazy, why is the murder rate so low compared to other cities?

Lot of defense of pot smoking on this thread.

So now you're saying that the people who live in San Fran are wealthy elitists AND racists?

'Cause it sure sounds like that's what you're saying.
