So how do you explain away the fact that blacks commit violent crimes at a far higher rate than any other group? They're also about 10 times more likely to commit violent crimes against whites than whites are against blacks.

The fact that blacks commit violent crimes at a higher rate than other groups may be attributed to socio-economic and historical reasons. Generally speaking, studies have showed that low income and poverty can increase crime rates, and poverty and income inequality are more prevalent in black communities. Similarly, racism and systemic discrimination can contribute to increased feelings of marginalization and anger, which can lead to increased crime rates, particularly amongst young people.
