Yes the real question is how do we lift people out of poverty. That is what will reduce crime. I say the answer is democratic socialism.

US has an obsession with black/white. Sure there is prejudice based on skin tone, but primary issue is surely poverty? As whites make up less than 10% of the global population it says a lot more about the bastards who are doing the controlling! They want to maintain divisions amongst the poor.
Rich nations can fix poverty, but seem to prefer not to as it gives them more control of the needy/ Fucked up world,
Black or white skin... one race. Separated by 2% DNA from gorillas. Get over it and stop seeing a difference between people.

This pretty much sums it up:

Sad as this situation is, it is very helpful in my upcoming report. As for the final line, I will get back to you on that, so please remind me as it is very important. My preliminary look at the evidence appears to show two types of 'racism' at work. One which keeps blacks at the near bottom of the heap through classic oppression by whites. The other is by blacks, who ostracise blacks who try to improve their lives. Both need a major change in American culture. I'll be comparing the UK with the USA.

My response has always been, "what about it?"

You know, how Christians say, "a watch means a watchmaker." Me: "yeah what about it?"

I love statistics. One has to really look at what the data is actually telling you. Most of the time I hear statistics discussed in increases over last years data. Math is good one just has to know what they are reading with it.

excellent informative articale, Seems poverty leeds to more crime because of just trying to stay alive which does not leave much time for education ,never ending circle ,If the poverty is adressed ,I am sure the education level will certainly increas accordingaly

Two reasons stand out. First, we must remember that white slave owners and the southern white population created a Black culture in which education was devalued (even dangerous) and in which it was not wise to aspire to anything -- and enforced those norms with violence. Second, Whites blocked economic opportunity for Blacks and reinforced the norm that it was dangerous of aspire.

This is a wonderful article/abstract on a deep analysis of racism and the African american experience.

You are very mistaken. There a huge difference in crime rates. Also a large difference in IQ. 70% of black children are born out of wedlock.its a sad mess. Message me and I will tell you why.

Poverty is the root, not race or ethnicity. Multi-cultural societies that have little to no poverty have no violence issues. Desperate people will do things you can not imagine, so the question for me is why do we allow government to assist in creating poverty so the predator class has lots of cheap labor to exploit? Plenty of poverty to go around since the Democrat Party went Wall Street with the Clintons and exorcized the Labor Democrats who used to fight for unions, higher wages, healthcare, basically a fair deal to keep the Economy strong.

Ive known about these statistics for a while now, but its nice to see that you did your research...

Institutional and societal racism. I remember even in the sixties separate water fountains and bathrooms. In nineteen seventy one I was in a BBQ joint in Elgin, TX where black folks had to sit at a bar facing a wall to eat there. That isn't that long ago. You treat people like third class citizens and much worse for centuries, depriving them of both education and opportunity, you can't expect them to turn this around in a couple of decades. Even now, look at the racism that has reared its ugly head with the election of trump. I thought we had come much farther than we have. Very sad and very disappointing.

I already knew this since it is a tired line used by Murican racists in every fbook group I am in (majority of members are Americans) and someone once stated this fact. Ever since then, I always reply to the person and what about white on white crime? The majority of whites are killed by other whites but you never bring up or talk about that, do you? Racist whites (notallwhitepeople) are damn good at deflection though and change the topic or focus on my tone cuz the facts stump them..... that or they bring up other racist crap about intelligence or thugs or whatever else they have in their arsenal.

An excellent interpretation of the data.

Good question
