have minorities diminished Americas greatness and world influence?

Answer 1

If by minority you mean the illegals (of any nationality) who come here demanding we support them while hating us or minorities who believe they're entitled to live off the taxpayer because 100 years ago SOME believed slavery was okay or their ancestors were 'harmed' in anyway--then I would agree. They're breaking us. If you're talking about the normal hard working, honest, decent American minorities--then no, they've enhanced our country and what makes us strong.

Answer 2

Yes.

According to the FBI an estimated 16,692 persons were murdered nationwide in 2005.

The FBI also has what they call the expanded murder data. The expanded murder data are details of the various offenses that the program collects beyond the count of how many crimes law enforcement agencies report.

According to the Expanded Murder Data, there was 17,029 offenders, out of this total, 6,376 offenders were black. While only 5,452 were white.

It is estimated that 19% of the US population is black, while 66% is White. The number of offenders for the 2005 reports between blacks and whites is a close number, though blacks hold a larger number yet they only represent about 19% of the population.
