"African/Americans" are 13% of the US population and contribute only 2% towards taxation.
“… between 2001 and 2003, blacks were 39 times more likely to commit violent crimes against whites than the reverse, and 136 times more likely to commit robbery.”
Between 2001 and 2003, blacks committed, on average, 15,400 black-on-white rapes per year, while whites averaged only 900 white-on-black rapes per year.
“Of the nearly 770,000 violent interracial crimes committed every year involving blacks and whites, blacks commit 85 percent and whites commit 15 percent.”
Black Americans experience 19.5 gun deaths per 100 000; whites just 2.5. Given that most gun deaths are committed by the same race as the victims, whites (rightly) conclude that they are not the main problem: blacks are 8 times more likely to be gun killers.
There are dramatic race differences in crime rates. Asians have the lowest rates, followed by whites, and then Hispanics.
Blacks have notably high crime rates. This pattern holds true for virtually all crime categories and for virtually all age groups.
In 2013, a black was six times more likely than a non¬black to commit murder, and 12 times more likely to murder someone of another race than to be murdered by someone of another race.
In 2014 in New York City, a black was 31 times more likely than a white to be arrested for murder, and a Hispanic was 12.4 times more likely. For the crime of “shooting” — defined as firing a bullet that hits someone — a black was 98.4 times more likely than a white to be arrested, and a Hispanic was 23.6 times more likely.
If New York City were all white, the murder rate would drop by 91 percent, the robbery rate by 81 percent, and the shootings rate by 97 percent.
In an all¬-white Chicago, murder would decline 90 percent, rape by 81 percent, and robbery by 90 percent.
