who are you more afraid of...
After going home to my town in the middle of CT, I have come to the conclusion that I'm more afraid to live there than in Jamaica, Queens. Everyone goes on and on about how dangerous black men are and that they'll shoot you if you walk up to them. That's not true at all. To be totally honest, how many serial killers were black? none. How many pettifiles are black? hardly any. How many black men cut up arms and keep them in their refridgerators? none. It's all white males who do this kind of stuff. Especially middle to upper class white men. So, living in white-bread central makes me more afraid to walk the streets at night than in Queens. Anybody agree? White guys are crazy.....................

WOW. I've never really thought of the crime rate like that. How interesting is that?! I wonder if there are stats on that? If they've done research on why its the upper middle class white male. Maybe its their upbringing? A psychological affect? An unbroken cycle? This would be an interesting research topic too.
I'm not too sure on those statistics....."none" is a strong word.......harsh blog either way Stephanie. oww. lol.
I've seen stats to support the claim that most of the crimes often associated with "dark" men (incuding people of Hispanic and middle eastern decent) are more often committed by white, middle-class men -- such as drug dealing, drug use, petty theft, domestic abuse, and sex crimes. Nonetheless the proportion of black men in prison is much higher. In my opinion, this is the true crime.
