ok, now take this table listed below which completely conflicts that table above:
Homicide Offenders by Race
White Black Other
1976 9,467 10,523 362
1977 9,842 10,133 414
1978 10,293 10,329 361
1979 11,455 11,227 503
1980 12,935 12,911 354
1981 11,976 12,145 354
1982 11,524 10,943 414
1983 10,651 9,941 415
1984 10,709 9,270 358
1985 10,410 9,548 415
1986 10,981 10,700 497
1987 10,804 10,496 404
1988 10,417 12,040 375
1989 10,608 12,707 391
1990 11,790 14,281 394
1991 12,057 15,665 545
1992 11,135 14,804 609
1993 11,179 15,844 614
1994 10,895 15,036 558
1995 10,643 12,931 615
1996 9,844 11,985 584
1997 9,022 11,005 575
1998 9,089 9,760 471
1999 7,970 8,886 546
2000 7,880 9,316 466
According to this in some instances there are more white homicide offenders then blacks. Where is that in the table listed above? Something is definately fishy about those statistics. There arent that many more white people then blacks. Don’t believe everything you read tyler.
