First, please no racist comments. I personally think that the high violent crime level among the US black population has more to do with socioeconomics. But while I was searching for crime stats for another post I found this website from some guy who put together a bunch of stats and tables on the subject. What do you think? http://jenab.freeyellow.com/racestat.htm    | ||

As far as I know, there are more white people in poverty in the US than any other race. I'll try to find some stats... | ||

Race has nothing to do with crime frequency. Socio-economic circumstances, and personal morals and values have everything to do with it. | ||

quote: The underclass (or the poorest of the poor) are made up of 65% blacks (mainly single mothers and their children) and 22% Latino. These people are mostly illiterate and commit a large proportion of crime. That means you are wrong in your assumption. The poor whites you speak of are mainly the working poor. They are the ones with full-time jobs but not enough income to rise above the poverty line.

again, all the criminals in my area are white; they are either from working poor or welfare bum families. | ||
