What's this?

Crime is obviously a problem in black communities. That is more a function


of poverty than race. You see similar statistics for criminal activity including murder in poor rural communities with Caucasian populations. People who are desperate and grow up around violence, tend to have a compunction for violence. That's not revelatory. Trying to pin a socioeconomic problem on race as a justification for poor judgement and poor policing is asinine and unhelpful.
