Answer 2

Over 90% of the known serial killers in this country have been caucasian males. A couple of exceptions are Wayne Williams, the child killer in Atlanta, and Richard Ramirez, the "Night Stalker" killer in Los Angeles. And even then: the Williams case is under review. It is such an overwhelming pattern, that when a new serial killer pops up on the charts, the FBI's psychological profilers immediately begin their profile with: "white male, 25-40 years old, marginally employed, abusive childhood." Those are given stats. As someone mentioned, there have been notorious serial killers in Europe, most notably Germany and Russia, and of course Jack the Ripper in England, but again, they were white. The reason for this is thought to be that mental illness effects different ethnic groups in differing ways, and it just happens that the necessary chemical brain ingredients for this are inherent to white males. Women of any race are hardly ever multiple killers, since the hormone testosterone is a major precursor towards violent behavior.

Answer 3

There have actually been quite a few black serial killers. There was that guy up in Spokane and the other one in Bellevue in the 90's. There's more, I just can't remember their names. I don't really know why most serial killers are white. Maybe white males have different social pressures than black males. I dunno.

Answer 4

Black serial killers are called gang bangers

Answer 5

Most serial killers are white because most people in America are white (I'm assuming you're American) I think maybe the rate of other crimes is raised by the typically low socio-economic conditions black people live in, but the rate of such a methodical and pre-meditated crime wouldn't be.

Answer 6

Because they are better known as warlords and dictators (such as papa doc duvalier of haiti, Joseph Kony of Uganda, Sam Bockarie of Sierra Leone, Charles Taylor of Liberia, Germain Katanga of Congo, etc).

Nice try, flame-baiter, but no race is holy - all are evil.

Can't tell you why because it's not true.

Answer 9
