You know...it depends...I lived at the edge of a ghetto in Baton Rouge, once saw a gun waved about but no violence. Lived in a white

Posted by: Catzan on Feb 07, 17:28 in response to jdolphin's post So I'm guessing you live in an all black neighborhood...

neighborhood in Metairie, La. and not much crime. Lived in a mixed neighborhood in New Orleans, guy was gut shot in our first month there and then no more violence for like 10 or more years. Was almost mugged by two white guys walking home late. Lived on a main boulevard in New Orleans and was mugged by a large group of African American kids at 2am, neighborhood was mixed. Lived at the edge of a rich neighborhood next to crack houses and never had an issue. Lived in the hood in Baltimore, no violent crime. Lived in the hood in Memphis, no violent crime. Lived in mixed neighborhood in West Palm Beach...no issues...white neighborhood in Davie...no problems...geez, I move around way too much.  New Orleans is a bad town for violence and it is a poor town. Baltimore can be rough. 

In the last 18 or so years, I learned to look at crime stats before I move somewhere and I guess you would be shocked to hear that I have seen safe places to live with all sorts of people and I have lived in good neighborhoods and poor neighborhoods. In Memphis I was mre terrified of brown recluse spiders than the people.  lol

 

Baron Darcon, I looked up FBI stats from 2017. It shows 58% of violent crime committed by Caucasians and 38% by Black or African Americans. Catzan Feb 06, 18:46

Depends on if you mean disproportionate to the total crimes committed or disproportionate to the population group - Using your stats blacks jdolphin Feb 06, 19:47

Though if I wanted to get an idea of what's disproportionate, I'd look deeper than a national average.. RogerMore Feb 07, 07:35

and a multivariate analysis for related factors like, say, poverty and unemployment professor zovek Feb 07, 10:48

And education opportunities are more limited in poor communities. {nm} Catzan Feb 07, 11:00

Murder is the best crime to look at. Can't juke the stats on murder, but you can on everything else. {nm} MattW Feb 07, 21:13

Homicide rather {nm} MattW Feb 07, 21:13

*makes hand-wavy motion* Not every homicide goes reported - think about unexplained disappearances, runaways, etc RogerMore Feb 08, 09:30

also "homicide" a larger category that includes murder (intentional killings). can also include involuntary manslaughter, gross negligence {nm} professor zovek Feb 08, 13:23

Under reporting affects all categories........... MattW Feb 09, 21:25

Straight stats...you are more likely to experience violence at that hand of a Caucasian than an African American. And I put in my 2 cents Catzan Feb 07, 10:58

at least he's consistently full of poo {nm} Moviesnob Feb 07, 11:25

So I'm guessing you live in an all black neighborhood because that would be much safer {nm} jdolphin Feb 07, 15:08

Mine's 75% black!.So far so good! {nm} Moviesnob Feb 07, 15:59

You know...it depends...I lived at the edge of a ghetto in Baton Rouge, once saw a gun waved about but no violence. Lived in a white Catzan Feb 07, 17:28

...and much more likely by an American Citizen than an Illegal Alien, especially mass murrder {nm} Buy BONDS xXx Feb 08, 00:29
