Hi HAJAA1. Mahalo for the reply. That's the problem with Allaha's comment.  It implies racism. And you confirm it. Stats can be used for a lot of things, and the worst is stereotyping or overgeneralizing. I'm sure none of us wants to be judged based on characteristics that we may share with a violent few. I'm also sure I don't need to explain it to you, but for the sake of those who might not get it, I brought up the fact that men are 10 times more likely to kill than women to ridicule Allaha's implied conclusion that we ought to fear all Black men. Using his logic, we should stay away from ALL men, regardless of color. I guess that would include ourselves if we're male.
