That's nice of you to try and backup his arguments for him since I guess he can't be bothered. I have to question the relevance of the second link though. I realize you're linking to it because of a point someone else was trying to make but what does it really say? It shows that class differences existed among whites in the 19th century and not much else. The slave owners were still white, the slaves were still black.

As far as the first link goes, the most glaring thing about it to me is how overrepresented blacks are among victims of violent crime. The percentages of victims of violent crime are roughly equal between blacks and whites, despite the fact that the US is roughly 80% white and 13% black. Unless my math is wrong here, that means that a black person is about six times more likely to be the victim of a violent crime than a white person.
