Dare I point out that many American criminologists are quick on the mark to point out there are over 3 times the number of white American serial killers in comparison to black american figures?

All you need to do is google American crime figures and many websites point to the statistics.

Ed Gein, Ted Bundy, Charles Manson, Berkowitz, Albert Fish....

Oh yes, and let's not forget George W. Bush himself...

Ah I pushed it a little too far. Though then I get onto high school shootings and we have a field day; Asa Coon, Brenda Ann Spencer, Luke Woodham, Andrew Golden and Mitchell Johnson, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold.... have I said enough yet?


Racist stereotypes exist and I might not be able to change every single persons mind on them, but let's not ignore how many brutal and socially destructive crimes are carried out by your white citizens.

God help us if you think America is free of firearms, drug use and under age sex under Bush. Lots of leaders make mistakes and have bad beliefs, regardless of their colour. I think it would be quite naive to say that every black person in the world must be incapable of leadership.

blazey , check the link Homicides in Oakland 2007/2008 for my local area , I live about 4 miles to the south of this , to date October 25, 2008 , 110 dead , but you can be sure for every death there were at least another 10 maimed and wounded and we haven't got to the holiday season yet .
A link is available from the above showing the deaths across the bridge in San Francisco , the locations in both places where all these " socially destructive crimes" take place are areas where "white citizens" DON'T live.

It'd be fair enough to misunderstand my post but to just make something up is really quite strange.

Let's have a look at what I said... "It's only people that haven't got a clue about the election over there..."

So you have made the most gigantic inductive leap known to man and asserted that I think I know 'what is wrong with the world' because I have an interest in the US election. Very strange indeed.

If Obama is not elected, I sincerely hope that the American public are not stupid enough to believe and accept the result. It will be an utter tragedy if John McCain is elected.
