one of our posters demonstrated that Thomas Laird Twyford II lied.  He lied by manipulating statistics.  The actual figures for white homicides and black homicides are both around 33%, and Twyford took the nearly equal figures and came up with 50% plus a little.  That ignored the other 33% of homicides, which were committed by "other" or "unknown".  For that matter, anyone with any identifiable African features is labeled black, rather than white.  Our president is 50% white but we say he is black.  Most Americans with any African ancestry are labeled "black" even though they may be less than 1/4th African.  So even the statistics are crap, unless we change the classification to "urban poor" plus "rural poor", which are the real factors in producing criminals.

I will disagree that our differences can't be ignored.  The human race is diverse, and without differences our species would stagnate.  Like it or not, we must all live with those who are different.
