Our high murder rate is an ethnic problem, which the media will not discuss. You named the numbers for our over all population.

>>>>about 15% of our population is black, about 12% is Hispanic<<<<<<<<

Then look at our murder rate in Los Angeles this year.

Consider: As of July 31 of this year there had been 299 murders in the city of Los Angeles. Of the victims, 141 (47 percent) were Hispanic and 134 (45 percent) were black, reflecting a pattern that has remained steady for the last few years. Detectives had identified 158 suspects in these crimes, of whom 69 (44 percent) were Hispanic and 64 (40 percent) were black. There were eight whites (5 percent) identified, as well as 17 (11 percent) of what LAPD record keepers label as "others," primarily Asians and Middle Easterners.<<<<(Jack Dunphy article, NRO.

As long as this huge disparity is to "PC" to even be discussed, we have little chance of changing it.
