Unfortunately BrianJackson, FBI statistics do not bear this out. The problem is that the vast majority of your fellow caucasian americans actually believe this hogwash. Please check your facts, and for future reference do a little reading, and a little less typing.

When you look at 18 years old and under, 32% of all crimes are perpetrated by blacks! Once again, blacks only make up 12% of the population!
It is all about the ratios and probabilities.
Sure, there are some blacks who act normal, i.e. as other blacks call them acting "white"; They speak proper English, wear pants around their waist, and go to work.
But, from the provider's point of view, why take a chance of meeting those rare, normal acting blacks, when they are more likely (probability, again) to encounter someone who will behave the only way the know how.
