"Maybe some people aren't afraid to point out reality. " But the reality is that crime correlates strongly to economic standing and population density. The larger the city, the more crime per capita. The lower the economic standing, the higher the crimes committed and experienced per capita. Since blacks tend to be concentrated in larger cities and occupy the lower economic rungs... When you norm for those two factors, the difference in crime rate between the two races is pretty close to zero. The single biggest factor in whether crime is increasing or decreasing is how well the economy is doing, albeit a trailing indicator. A year or two after the economy starts to expand, crime, especially violent crime, starts to decrease. A year or two after the economy starts to contract, crime, especially violent crime, starts to increase. A problem shouldn't be made into something racial if the roots are something else. Note: I edited a mistake I made. Two sentences above, I had originally crime decreasing under economic expansion. That was an error.
