And they wonder why they are looked down upon. Federal Statistics: Blacks are seven times more likely than people of other races to commit murder, and eight times more likely to commit robbery. Blacks are three times more likely to use a hand gun, and twice more likely to use a knife. Blacks are 39 times more likely to commit a violent crime against whites then vice versa, and 136 times more likely to commit a robbery. Forty-five percent of black crime is against whites, 43 against other blacks.
@Allen-Be careful. Someone will call you a racist for telling the truth.
Your right, they might, but I really don’t care what people call me, because sometimes the truth hurts. I don’t have any self-esteem problems or inferiority complexes. Besides, they are just words.
