I will, but what crimes are they keeping track of exactly? Technically speaking possessing marijuana in many places is still a crime, but I wouldn't say anyone who actually uses the shit is violent because of the marijuana itself, regardless of race. That's just strictly speaking tho.
But yeah, not denying that the average black person is probably going to be more rude than other people. Since so many like hiphop (which especially these days is pretty vulgar and rude just for the sake of it), that's naturally going to seep into their day-to-day. You're a reflection of your hobbies and interests, and those often form the values you live by.
Cutting down on the trashy hip-hop and the habits it promotes would be a decent start maybe.

Just keep in mind that whites make up 60% of the US population and blacks make up 13%. Make sure to note the murder rates amongst the blacks

Thanks. Will read.
Ultimately these numbers could be helpful in actually fixing things if people were more like adults in addressing the actual root of the problem. That is why gaffots like sLime and Slaven should ultimately be ashamed of themselves; they won't acknowledge that there are customs and beliefs practiced by many black communities that continue to damage them and makes these numbers a reality. They want to attribute it to complete systemic oppression instead of just being honest and saying that maybe there's a lot of ignorant people in those black communities who make stupid decisions for themselves that ultimately make up those numbers.
They'd rather these people to play victim and blame something that doesn't even directly target them over anyone else, instead of realizing that maybe they should try getting their kids to focus on computers instead of Jordans, and stop thinking it's an "us vs. them" mentality with the "them" being the world, b/c other people are just trying to live their lives and don't have enough free time to worry about fucking you over.
That actually requires having people take responsibility for themselves and respecting them as individuals instead of a hivemind tho. Impossible for a hivemind like GAF to ever comprehend.
