Al, I just heard about Mr. Bennett's comments. Very wise comments when taken in context, but obviously no one in the liberal media wants to. Seems like in making his point (which the media is making irrelevant now), Mr. Bennett's only "sin" is assuming that blacks commit more crimes than people of other races. An unreasonable assumption to make? Or just something people just know but aren't allowed to say thanks to "political correctness"? Tenchusatsu

There is more black-on-white than black-on-black violent crime. Of the approximately 1,700,000 interracial crimes of violence involving blacks and whites, 90 percent are committed by blacks against whites. Blacks are therefore up to 250 times more likely to do criminal violence to whites than the reverse. Blacks commit violent crimes at four to eight times the white rate. Hispanics commit violent crimes at approximately three times the white rate, and Asians at one half to three quarters the white rate. Blacks are twice as likely as whites to commit hate crimes. Hispanics are a hate crime victim category but not a perpetrator category. Hispanic offenders are classified as whites, which inflates the white offense rate and gives the impression that Hispanics commit no hate crimes. Blacks are as much more dangerous than whites as men are more dangerous than women.
