What Does This Prove?

Umm... what do these statistics say about the current state of African-American culture? I was reading and replying to posts on another site and noticed a lot of people stating that Blacks and Hispanics/Latinos commit most of the crime in America on any given day. Before I responded to these statements, I wanted to have some background information. Since no one reads this page, I thought that it would do less harm here than it would on a popular site.

The fist number is the percentage of a given race or ethnicity, the second is the murder rate for the given city and the last number is the overall rate of violent crime for each city.
Cities with the highest percentage of (----) and over 100,000 residents.

I used to think that "White-Flight" was a ridiculous practice. After looking at how cities with a Black majority seem to be have more violent crime... I'm not so sure. The H/L cities seem to be at the national average. The predominantly White cities seem to be a lot more safe. Are economic and social factors also to be taken into account? Sure, but looking at these statistics, we only have ourselves and our culture to blame. We can no longer expect to give people (who may or may not have our best interests in mind) the blame for our situation without first looking at the deficiencies in our culture. I don't think that the problem is racial (genetic) as much as I think that it is cultural (behavioral) and therefore can easily be corrected. We just need to realize our faults and do the work to correct our situation. ~uglyblackjohn~
