The only nonsense and nonsequiturs are in your posts. You apparently get easily confused. Let me explain something to you. Apparently you are only familiar with the data from the UCRs from your racist literature. Which has been cherry-picked as has pointed out. I have more detailed experience. In the early 1990s I worked on a project for the Department of Criminal Justice at Sam Houston University. The project was to develop a database of the UCRs in the state and provide a means for police departments to communicate with each other. At the time, it was quite possible to commit crimes in various jurisdictions and get away with it because the departments had no ready mechanism to share information. That, in fact happened on several occasions as some people realized they could knock over convenience stores across several jurisdictions and the cops couldn't put the information together and elude capture that way. As long as they didn't whack the clerks, there wasn't anything to trigger a statewide search. Of course, being crooks they weren't exactly bright, much like yourself, and they whacked a couple of clerks and got caught. Anyway, I studied the UCRs and read a lot of the FBI literature on them. The FBI, not being racist bigots for the most part, has done more than just cherry-pick the data and actually have done objective analyses on it. Turns out, crime is very closely related to economic status. When adjusted for that, there is very little difference in the rates of crime by blacks and whites as a percentage of their respective races. Asians and Hispanics tend to have lower crime rates when adjusted for income on a similar basis. Depending on the category there can be some differences. Blacks seem to like robbery, whites, anything drug related. That was before meth and oxy became popular so the rates of white offenders is probably higher since both are more popular with whites than blacks who tend to stick to pot. These are very serious questions that deserve serious answers. Please respond honestly this time. I am always honest. You, not so much. One would think that if it weren't for non-Hispanic/non-Muslim Whites, all of the non-Whites in the world simply wouldn't survive. Why? Perfect example. Only a racist bigot like yourself would think this. There is not a shred of evidence to support it. All of those people did just fine when the whites were mired in the Dark and Middle Ages and couldn't even help themselves when they inflicted the plagues on the world. Their terrorist attacks on the Caliphate eventually brought down a very sophisticated civilization to their level. Ever wonder why there are so many Arabic words in English? Why many of the stars have Arabic names? Why we use Arabic numbers? Why they had to teach us the concept of zero? Or algebra? Or how to structure a military? Why many military titles have Arabic roots? I can go into detail how the European colonies destroyed local structures and artificially carved out countries based on their convenience, shoving disparate tribes together with no attention to traditional hatred. If what was done to the Middle East and Africa had been done to Europe, it would continually be in flames. As it is, until recently one European country or another would be at war every decade or two. Often it was several countries and lots of people were killed. Like major percentages of their populations.
