Interesting article, thanks.

And please, show a source regarding the 50%+ of crimes that black Americans are responsible for. Not for a point of my own, but you should at least be providing sources for stat claims meant to be factual.

The stat I saw was one I (unsurprisingly) misinterpreted. It was from the DOJ stats for a survey from 1980 to 2008: DOJ statistics show that between 1980 and 2008, black criminals committed 52% of homicides. In 2013, black criminals committed 38% of the murders. I had seen it elsewhere without the dates appended to it.

I need to do more reading through the DOJ, UCR and NCVS reports, it seems.
