If so, why am I seeing Whites on America's Most Wanted and White men on the news for burying thier victims in the backyard and killing their wives stuffing them in the trunk...Why? I believe Blacks are the ones to get caught and most likely some old White woman got her pursed snatched and blamed it on a Black man when in reality it was some redneck! Now please tell me how Blacks cause the most crimes!

I think all races commit crime at about the same rate. BUT I do think they commit DIFFERENT types of crime. I think Whites- notorious for their serial killings, and sexual child abuse-tend to get outed for their "white collar crimes". While blacks tend to get coverage for selling drugs, and stealing.
I do agree that blacks get tougher sentences, especially in the South, where two black teens robbed a pizza hut and both got sentenced to 99 years in jail. Many murderers barely get life. It sucks but that is racism in America.
If you find this hard to believe remember Katrina? When blacks stormed stores they were called "Looters" when whites stormed stores, all of a sudden it was called "Survival".

Wow, you sound like a biased racist. If you don't think that blacks committ more crimes per capita than whites you are the blindest of the blind. But you are right about the big ones, they tend to be done by whites. When detectives profile a serial killer, they almost never profile a black person because it is so rare that there is a black serial killer. But muggings, assaults, things of that nature tend to be done by blacks. I'm not being racist here, that is the truth. Although in my own experience, I was mugged and assaulted by a group of people that were white and hispanic (same incident)- no blacks involved. You don't have to be black to think you're a gangsta.
I don't know what you want to make of this. I saw an episode of Cops where they put an unlocked bike against a pole on a busy sidewalk in a predominantly black neighborhood. The bike got stolen a bunch of times in one night. That would never happen in a white neighborhood. Sorry!

Lets see...statistics maybe? There are more blacks in jail then in college. Blacks are a small minority of the population and a large majority of the prison population. I love how there is always an excuse as to why that is. To answer your question stuffing someone in a trunk or burying your victim in the backyard is news worthy. Blacks petty crimes, assaults, drug charges, etc is just every day for them and not news worthy crimes.

By and Large Yes, there are more blacks convicted of serious offenses than whites in the US. Is that true for other cultures like say the UK, I don't think so.
I can't name any country besides the US where blacks make up so little of a total population but so much of the prison population.
I mean, in The Bahamas 98% of crimes are commited by blacks but 99% of the country is black so that makes sense. In the US, no sense at all.

Many blacks are often get a court appointed attorney who really doesn't care one way or the other how the trial turns out. Many whites seem to hire a fairly decent lawyer who really will try to work that jury. The thing is... if you commit the crime and you are wealthy, you can hire that $400 an hour lawyer who will get you off. Doesn't matter if you are black or white.... it all depends on wealth.

Blacks dont necessarily commit more crimes but they go to jail way more often than white men do. Partly its money more white people have it to buy a good lawyer with, partly its discrimination, partly its environment and upbringing. There have been very few black serial murderers and many white ones.

No it is just the media that portrays that and all the ignorant people buy into that and think they are telling the absolute truth. Plus we can't commit the most crime if we are the minorities.

no it is the illegal aliens from south of the border. Look it up, they are overcrowding our prisons and schools. Actually it is a crime for them being here to begin with.

No... they just tend to get caught more.
I KNOW many non-blacks will disagree with this... but a black person and a white person will commit the same crime. But, the black person will ALWAYS get a tougher sentence. Thats why there are so many black and brown people in prison. Modern day slavery. They definitely put them to work when they're locked up.
