*gasp* 84% of those crimes were done by black males!

Surprised, completely [/sarcasm]

[Harrison]

There were 98 "Crime Alerts" issued for the year of 2007 including attempted murder/rape/sexual assault/assault amongst other offenses.

Out of those 98 , the race of the suspect was unavailable for only 17 incidents.

The rest? lol

7 were committed by Caucasians, or 8.6%.
4 were committed by Hispanics, or 4.9%.
2 were committed by Asians, or 2.5%.
68 were committed by Blacks, or 84.0%.

The student body of 2007 University Of Berkeley Freshman is comprised of 37% Asian and Pacific Islander; 32%Caucasian; 12% Chicano/Latino; 3% Filipino, 3% percent African American; 1% Native American and 4.6% "other"

so what are you trying to say?

[Gypsiyee]

before I even opened this thread I knew it would be some racial crap

[Zanchief]

Have you been trolling about the internet looking for the best sample of black related crime statistics to help enforce your racist view of the world?

Dear god, the University of Berkley police department? Could you find a more isolated demographic?

[Lyion]

Not really a good post, Harri. Generally, most urban area's with a high percentage of poor, uneducated minorities will have a good chunk of criminal charges against blacks. That's akin to looking at Iraq, and claiming that 99.8% of the suicide bombers are all Muslims, so the Muslims are bad!

A better post would be how to get urban and poor area's to have less crime, more opportunity, and better social setups to allow for advancement, prosperity, and less crime.

This was actually on my iGoogle page headlines.

I don't have the care nor time to bother hunting this shit down. It surfaces on its own regularly, sorry to burst your hippie bubbles.

[Tikker]

I love that anyone that disagrees with you is somehow transmogrified into a hippie

[Harrison]

Most of this board are hippies. I didn't create your faulty views on life.

Well since our "faulty views on life" are really just your skewed misinterpretation of how the world works, you are actually creating them...in your mind!

[The Kizzy]

Harri, can you also find out what the % of blacks at the school and in the surrounding areas are?

[araby]

let's go back to the hippy thing. I've been noticing this word being thrown around to generally describe people on this board lately by harrison..

What exactly is your definition of a hippy?

[Lueyen]

Does anyone else find it slightly ironic that the original article came from Berkley, and that those NOT much significance to it are labeled hippies?

[Harrison]

Harri, can you also find out what the % of blacks at the school and in the surrounding areas are?

The freshman class (don't have the time to dig up entire percentages tonight) is 3.3 percent African American.

[Kramer]

black people are mostly stupid thigs who hurt people...... everyone else shut up.

[Phlegm]

Harri, can you also find out what the % of blacks at the school and in the surrounding areas are?

Berkeley is around 15% blacks.

[Arlos]

It is, however, immediately adjacent to Oakland, which has an extremely high percentage.

That's the only thing I've read that does make sense of it. Though it doesn't change much.

[Reynaldo]

The most depressing thing about stereotypes is that more often than not....they're spot on =/

[Kramer]

[Tikker]

stereotypes don't exist without some truth to them

[Drem]

it must suck to go through life worrying about shit like this. i feel really sorry for you, harrison. maybe you should get mad at john hawkyns for subjugating an entire race of human beings

and i'm curious... when you're racist do you refer to all blacks across the world or just african-americans? sorry i really don't know because racism isn't really a part of my mind. i'm more racist against whites than anything else i guess because we're so ignorant, stupid and disappointing sometimes (like john hawkyns or harrison)

So you hold caucasions to a higher standard? You'd pretty much have to in order to be dissapointed in caucasions more than others.

Another point - caucasions generally are more succesful compared to other races almost everywhere in the world. Where does ignorance come into play here?

let's not misconstrue opinion as fact, please

if you're counting the success of caucasians in australia, most european countries, and 2/3 of north america, well no kidding - that's a ton of countries that are comprised of a majority of whites. that's by no means 'most everywhere in the world' especially if you do just a little bit of research on the population percentages of those areas to other continents

i'm no demographic or census expert, but considering the success of an overwhelming number of asian populace, including the size of china alone, cite your source. factor in africa, south america, and the rest of asia, and i think you have a fantastic recipe for bullshit stew.

i'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that the answer to your question is that it's pure ignorance

prove me wrong if you will, like i said i'm no expert here. i'm actually very curious where you've gotten such a strong opinion that you believe it to be 100% true, especially considering the world population.

Key to the explanation and proof will be how he defines success.
