Interesting satistics. Thanks for sharing them. If you would though remember satistics don't explain the human factor, or the real issues that make them up. As one white Author pointed out..............

http://www.city-journal.org/html/6_2_my_black.html

"My black crime problem, and ours, is that for most Americans, especially for average white Americans, the distance is not merely great but almost unfathomable, the fear is enormous and largely justifiable, and the black kids who inspire the fear seem not merely unrecognizable but alien. Not that we can’t understand where they come from, when we stop to consider. After all, the child is father to the man: and think how many inner-city black children are without parents, relatives, neighbors, teachers, coaches, or clergymen to teach them right from wrong, give them loving and consistent discipline, show them the moral and material value of hard work and study, and bring them to cherish the self-respect that comes only from respecting the life, liberty, and property of others. Think how many black children grow up where parents neglect and abuse them, where other adults and teenagers harass and harm them, where drug dealers exploit them. Not surprisingly, in return for the favor, some of these children kill, rape, maim, and steal without remorse. And around goes the negative feedback loop: reasonable fear feeds unreasonable white race hostility, whose reality in turn feeds unreasonable black paranoia about everything in life."

It's an insidious endless loop that many of us wish had a simple answer. The fact is there are no simple answers.

How do you explain the trend if this is not due to gangs, drugs and yes...The Hip-Hop culture.

I'd be willing to bet if you researched the deaths and perpetrators music collections you would see an overwhelming trend.

They don't call it Gangster Rap for nothing.
