Maybe you should know the facts before you make such statements.

The majority of violet crimes are committed by whites.

BUT...

A large majority of the black and hispanic POPULATION commit violet crimes.

You have to break it down by population numbers.  There's more whites, so most crimes are committed by whites.  But a larger percentage of the black/hispanic population committ crimes... does that make sense?


Wait... try this:

10 white people... maybe 1 or 2 are criminals.
10 black/hispanics... 4 or 5 are criminals.

Facts are facts. But it has NOTHING to do with the color of one's skin. What it IS about is the culture that one is raised in.

I was told that blacks make up less than 20% of the population of America yet take up almost 80% of the population in American prison.  Is that true?  If so, the thread starter is correct, isn't he?

It is the people in a wrong state of mind that commit crimes... just so happens that black and hispanic fall into this category "typically"

No, you were right on target. Im a criminal justice major and the first thing we learned is that blacks and hispanics account for the vast majority of crime statistics.
