And anyhow, the high number of violent crimes committed by black people doesn't really detract from the narrative that they are also victims of racism.  Victims often lash out.  We also know that a life of crime is more attractive to people with severe finial hardship than those who are well off, to put it mildly.  So I don't think the two narratives are conflicting at all.

I think this is a very good point. A lot of crimes are committed by the poor. The question that needs to be asked if why they black community are disproportionately poor? Which is the true fact behind the crime statistics.

They're poor because they don't get and stay married. And the more that behavior infects the other racial the groups the more it also proves true there as well. And the more urban black culture dominates society the more that happens, so it might not be hardwired into specific people but it's certainly a dominating influence.

And, as we see here, people immediately start making excuses for anti-social and criminal behavior as soon at we start discussing it.
