  Been reading Tim Wise, have we?  Birdman did a good number on him:    The logic is flawed because the races don't live together in an even mixture. There are black neighborhoods, white neighborhoods, mixed neighborhoods, etc.  Thus, blacks are around blacks and should target whites far less than the white percentage of the population would suggest (to the innumerate).  Let's look at rape numbers, shall we? Rape is useful because there's no economic motive and thus no poverty excuse:   From the 2005 edition of The Color of Crime:   The 1999 version of The Color of Crime is here:    Another thing to keep in mind is that, as others have pointed out, mestizos (hispanics, latinos, undocumented workers, whatever) are not broken out from whites as a perpetrator class (curiously, they are broken out as a victim class in certain categories. Hmmmmm.).      I see what you're saying, but the chances of any given white person being murdered by a black is extremely low. You have a greater chance of being killed by a dog than being murdered by a black person. Again, 86% of whites are killed by fellow whites. that leaves the rest of the 14% to be left to minorities. You will also find, on the Bureau of justice's website, that black on white crime is the lowest that it has been in several years, and overall homicide rates for blacks have dropped drastically since 1995, and are still falling.
