There's 40 million black people that live in America.
6,000 murderers.
The overwhelming majority of black people are not murdering anybody.
I think people need to put the numbers in perspective.
Yeah, it's even lower than that.
The chance that you get struck by lightning is probably more than getting hurt by a black man if you are black.
But if you live in these concentrated areas of violence,
Most of the murders are occurring in these inner cities.
They're not occurring all over the state.
You go to Chicago right now and have the best time of your life.
You go in the affluent areas where the white people live, you can leave the doors wide open.
It's concentrated areas of poverty and violence.
When I was a police officer, I noticed that white crime and violence, or white crime and...
poverty go together like black crime and poverty.
Only difference is gang-related violence.
Got it.
Which make black people go up another notch.
Right, right.
But when you talk about abandoning children, meaning fatherless homes, when you talk about people using drugs, violence, killing each other, stabbing each other, robbing, stealing copper and doing all that sort of stuff,
white people had the same rate of some of this stuff as when I grew up.
