We all saw with the Duke rape scandal and all the media bombardment on the "Evil White Man" who attacks and lynches "minority groups" at will; but what is the real story?

Quote:
What is the real deal with race and crime in America? The media would want you to believe that Evil Whitey is the purveyor of all hate and crime, but is it true?

No! In fact, Whites are underrepresented in violent crime such as homicide and murder.

According to Bureau of Justice Statistics Homicide trends in the U.S.: Trends by race (http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/homicide/race.htm - broken link) Blacks are 12% of the U.S population but commit 52% of _ALL_ homicide.

No wonder the media downplays crime with such a disproportional amount of homicide.

According to the most recent census data, Whites are 74.7% of the population but this includes Hispanics, the majority of whom are most certainly NOT White.

In fact, according to: ]United States - Fact Sheet - American FactFinder
Whites are 60.2% of the population (White 74.7% - Hispanic 14.5% = 60.2%).

According to the Sentencing Project @ http://www.sentencingproject.org/pdfs/1051.pdf over 1/3 of federal inmates are Hispanic; so how much disproportional is the "White" crime rate?


With regards to rape the U.S Department of Justice states that Blacks are the perceived offender 48.5% of all rape cases; where-as, Whites are the perceived offender in only 32.8%. Criminal Victimization in the United States - Rape/sexual assault - Race (http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/abstract/cvus/race752.htm - broken link)


Why does the media grossly overplay White crime while ignoring the incredibly disproportional, and sickening amount, of crime that is purportraited by "minority groups"? (Namely Blacks and Hispanics).

Yup, I agree. When it comes to the local murder or robbery, it's a Black or Latino person. But who are the Jeffrey Dahmers, Ted Bundys, BTKs, and John Wayne Gacys of America? More often Whites than any other racial group.
