Heh, but that means only a few people in the South were super-racist!

While 48.2% of all victims of violent crime are white despite the fact that they make up 79.8% of the population. Doesn't that strike you as a huge disparity?

Yes, that strikes me as a huge disparity. So does the fact that blacks commit 36.5% (a plurality) of murders in this country, despite being a minority. And like I already stated, most murders are committed within a race. So, doesn't that mean they are "bringing it upon themselves" so to speak?

Yes, the numbers of murders committed is also striking. And when one considers whether or not they are "bringing it upon themselves" one has to consider the context in terms of both conviction rates among blacks versus whites for the same crime and the differences in poverty level between the races.
