I didn't say the stats were inflated. I said that they are inclusive of crime that happens among black people in black neighborhoods due to the business (and other consequences) of drug-dealing as well as to the socio-economic conditions there that often breed other types of crime. Are you going to deny that? Or are you under the impression that all of this crime is accounted for by swarms of black men leaving their neighborhoods to rob and attack white people? Do you believe that a young black man who was brought up in a stable middle-class, mixed-race community is more apt to be a criminal than a young white man brought up in the same community? Just because he happens to be black? This seems to be your premise - you have more to fear from black people. If this is your belief then I'd prefer not to go any further with this conversation other than to say it's curious that you profess to work in law enforcement.
I'm not going out on a statistics hunt for you because I only know it from reading it over and over and over again in books, articles, news stories. Your 'list' is used to whip up fear and hatred of black people because it doesn't tell the whole story. And you still haven't told me where you got it from, but I understand if you'd rather not say...
