I didn’t say black people commit more crimes than white people. The phrase I used was “…absurdly disproportionate amount of violent crime…” And it’s a well established fact
…I voted for Obama, I think he’s great. You seem to be implying that I’m racist. I’m not - I believe that black people, white people, Asians, Semites and whoever else are all more or less genetically identical. However, there are CULTURES that are inferior to other cultures in the sense of producing and fostering more violent crime and negative social effects. I submit that the African American subculture in the USA is one of those. Another one is the Arab culture of violence and subjugation towards women.
I’m not all “white power” - I judge a culture not on the color of its adherents but on its effects on the populace, and I can’t understand why it’s not more commonly done.

In general, we fear strangers much more than we should. Consider a few supporting pieces of evidence:
+ In the U.S., the proportion of murder victims who knew their assailants to victims killed by strangers is about 3-to-1. (Source: U.S. Department of Justice.)
+ Sixty-four percent of women who are raped know their attackers; and 61 percent of female victims of aggravated assault know their attackers. (Men, on the other hand, are more likely to be assaulted by a stranger.) (Source: D.O.J.)
+ How about child abduction? Isn’t that the classic stranger crime? This 2007 Slate article explains that of the missing children in one recent year, “203,900 were family abductions, 58,200 were nonfamily abductions, and only 115 were ‘stereotypical kidnappings,’ defined in one study as ‘a nonfamily abduction perpetrated by a slight acquaintance or stranger in which a child is detained overnight, transported at least 50 miles, held for ransom, or abducted with the intent to keep the child permanently, or killed.’”
+ And if you’re really concerned about mass murder — which, given its rarity, you really shouldn’t be — you’d probably do well to look around your neighborhood instead of focusing on strangers, or foreigners, or people who look like they might, maybe, possibly be foreigners. A study of mass murderers between 1976 and 1995 found that 63 percent of them were white, 33 percent were black, and just 3 percent all other ethnicities.
