Losing Our Diversity Would be Worse
Here is a report about falling violent crime with guns here in America. It contains a little factoid I am loath to repeat lest I be branded a racist. Oh hell, no one reads me anyway. Here it is.
Although the rate of firearms homicides for African Americans declined by 51 percent over the past two decades, that rate was still 14.6 per 100,000 people in 2010 — compared to 1.9 for whites.So the rate of gun homicide for African Americans is more than seven and a half times greater than white American gun homicide. What's up with that?
