Of the 9, how many also involve a Black *victim*?
"Most victims of race crime—about 90 percent—are white, according to the survey "Highlights from 20 Years of Surveying Crime Victims", published in 1993."
"Almost 1 million white Americans were murdered, robbed, assaulted or raped by black Americans in 1992, compared with about 132,000 blacks who were murdered, robbed, assaulted or raped by whites, according to the same survey."
"Blacks thus committed 7.5 times more violent inter-racial crimes than whites even though the black population is only one-seventh the size of the white population. When these figures are adjusted on a per capita basis, they reveal an extraordinary disparity: blacks are committing more than 50 times the number of violent racial crimes of whites."
"According to the latest annual report on murder by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, most inter-racial murders involve black assailants and white victims, with blacks murdering whites at
18 times the rate that whites murder blacks. "
And for the statistic that will put this into a perspective you two are sure to cringe at: In 2005, among the American poor, there were
24,824,000 Whites,
8,988,000 Blacks,
