That is a very good question. There is much truth in your statements also.
Unfortunately the majority of the people in our country don’t want to admit it.
No, just like most of the people here who have answered your question, they want to be PC. And being PC in this day and age does not include telling the TRUTH about black people.
I have never seen a better list than the one on this page, of people who are afraid to, and refuse to see and accept the truth. And god forbid anyone ever actually say it out loud.
The bad part about it is, this list represents the majority of the people in this country, and they all have their head in the sand.
But to answer your question. This type of crime is generally swept under the carpet because the black politicians do not want the American voters to associate them with the rest of the ‘real’ blacks in the country. They want us to see them as pillars and representatives of what the black community can produce.
Ignore, deny, refuse to speak of the problem and the majority of the sheep-like people in this country will do the same.

You asked a very good question. I think that is abhorrent. If your stats are true, then there is something terribly wrong with that.I try not to be racist, but I have noticed an attitude from the African Americans like because I am white I should buy their drugs, let them have their way with my woman, and buy their rap music. I don't think so. There is alot of black on white crime where I live in Elmira, NY.I think the police are afraid of them here. They have to be politically correct and not offend the coloreds.Just because some white person(and also black people) brought them to America, and forced them to pick cotton, does not mean that it is my fault. Get over it.

I don't think its just liberals or conservatives, it's Americans in general. We have become so caught up in making amends to black people that we forget the rest of the country. I do not think there should be a difference between a crime and a hate crime, it's all the same, no matter what the motivation.

Prisons are full of them, right?....I understnd your point and yet I think as a caring society we are all to blame, all of us. Most blacks in prison had no fathers, that can not be easy. You got single moms trying to raise kids, that is hard. You got a bunch of strikes against you before you are even born...we all need to change that...be part of the cure, be a big brother or sister to a person of color, learn what hteir life is like, then judge.

Melissa McLaughlin was she the 14 year old Iraqi girl raped and killed by 4 white solders?
Look people commit crimes, not skin colors.
How about white on white crime or black on black.
Or (Here's the biggy) Male on female crime, check out those stats bro. When did you last hear that chestnut discussed by our politicians

sometimes recognizing danger is necessary to avoid it. ethnic factors are real, they shape our world, and as the statistics show they relate to our safety.

because dwelling too much on the worst of any group only promotes racist thought? There are bad people in every group... most serial killers are white... why don't conservatives talk about that, hot shot?
