It all makes sense.

Bloomberg thinks his citizens are too stupid to drink for themselves, yet they still have some of the most pride for the state by far. So you'll have to take that into account...

I jest. But okay, yeah being a drunkard in places like New York is probably asking for trouble...

Boston, MA crime rate is 45% higher than the Massachusetts average. So I don't know what to say about violence, other than you picked bad places to be. :/

"Texas, Boston and New York with the amount of crime witnessed or experienced increasing in that order." "Whilst cough others cough tend to commit more crime."

So blacks right? Well by the logic from personal experiences, logically the places with more percentage of black would have higher crime rates then right? 1. New York (most crime.) 2. Boston (2nd) 3. Texas (3rd/least.) By you're own admission. So let's just wiki that.

                             Blacks        Percentage
Texas	           2,979,598	 11.91%
Massachusetts       528,761	   8.1%
New York            3,073,800	 15.18%

Well those stats don't add up. Because Texas has almost the same total and yet they don't seem to commit any more crimes. :/

Though I've seen reports that the south, that has more blacks and subsequently more crime. Yet western California is number one in violent crime. And they only have a 6% percent amount of them.

So maybe it's less the race, vs the political/financial backgrounds of those particular places? Food for thought.

Also though Texas does certainly have a high crime rate, I can goddamn guarantee it's not caused by the black population. *cough* illegals *coughs* 

According to DPS criminal history records, those criminal charges have thus far resulted in over 266,000 convictions including 496 homicide convictions; 26,565 assault convictions; 8,411 burglary convictions; 34,929 drug convictions; 246 kidnapping convictions; 18,851 theft convictions; 22,644 obstructing police convictions; 2,011 robbery convictions; 2,906 sexual assault convictions; and 3,707 weapons convictions. Of the convictions associated with criminal alien arrests, over 177,000 or 66% are associated with aliens who were identified by DHS status as being in the US illegally at the time of their last arrest.

And that's not even a jab at the "race", but the poor culture bought over by people not wanting to integrate.

But yes, I'm not ignorant to the facts. Black crime is high, especially Black on Black crimes. But you have to look a bit deeper than the shallow end with that...

It's not simply due to race at all.

Gang Violence, is the problem and cause most of the crimes and homicides etc.

As many as 1 million gang members are believed responsible for as much as 80 percent of crime in America -- and the gangs are spreading across the country, according to a Justice Department gang threat assessment.

Approximately "1 million gang members belonging to more than 20,000 gangs were criminally active within all 50 states and the District of Columbia as of September 2008," the report says.

"Criminal gangs commit as much as 80 percent of the crime in many communities, according to law enforcement officials throughout the nation," the report notes as part of its key findings. "Typical gang-related crimes include alien smuggling, armed robbery, assault, auto theft, drug trafficking, extortion, fraud, home invasions, identity theft, murder and weapons trafficking."

And gangs aren't solely represented by a single race...

[quote]
The most recent figures provided by law enforcement are 46 percent Hispanic/Latino gang members, 35 percent African-American/black gang members, more than 11 percent white gang members, and 7 percent other race/ethnicity of gang members.

And hell according to this, blacks aren't even the TOP percentage of people IN gangs.

So clearly, there's a little more going on...not just race. But where they grew up, and the politics and propaganda that they learn about in their cultures. There's a few more factors at play that I think you might want to consider before assuming an entire race is predisposed to violence. Maybe like racism and most (to use their word) problematic things aren't something you're born with. But learned.

But you don't live in America. So I'm not entirely sure if I can explain much clearer than that or go more in depth. ^-^'
