As far as I can tell, in the U.S. blacks represent about 13.9% of the population and commit 51.2% of the crimes.
Quite so. That is why I stated at the beginning of the thread, that what you are describing (blacks committing majority of the crime) is an Americanism, we don’t have that here in Canada (mainly because we just don’t have that many blacks here).

The explanation I always bought was this:
If police think that an unproportional amount of crime is committed by blacks, they will spend more time in black neighbourhoods. They are more likely to hear about crimes and be able to catch the criminals in neighbourhoods with a higher police presence, thereby creating a disproportionate amount of convictions in those neighbourhoods.
It is a self-fulfilling opinion.

That is wrong. You have quoted murder stats. Just over half of all murders are committed by blacks...in the US anyway. I doubt it's that high in Canada
Haven't you been to Toronto lately???
Your extapolation to Canada could be misinterpreted.
And what has that got to do with anything? We are talking of nationwide here, not in any on particular city. Overall, majority of crimes are not committed by blacks here in Canada, it doesn’t matter what happens in Toronto.
You're right, nobody has shown you are wrong. You've done that by yourself.
I mean really....trying to suggest you really meant per capita in your OP...It would make less sense then it does the way you wrote it. Admitting you have a problem is the first step.

The majority of murders comitted in Toronto are by blacks.
If I am wondering about something, however, I don't ask other people to research it for me. I do it myself.I am stating something, not for me to disprove.
I repeat my opening post.
Definatly depends upon where you may live, crime is committed by all races. Better question would have been why is most Black crime that is committed, committed against other Blacks?
:lol:Convenience. If I was to commit a crime it would most likely be against a white person as they outnumber blacks in my community by about 5000 - 0.
How do you know they aren't.
