					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://calwatchdog.com/2015/03/09/is-san-diego-safest-big-city-or-having-a-police-crisis/#comment-111950&quot;&gt;Rex the Wonder Dog!&lt;/a&gt;.

Why do you stoop to accusing me of making up the data?  You should know better by now. You DO know better, but just can&#039;t help yourself when you lack a coherent rebuttal, apparently.

Yes I do have the data.  But why don&#039;t YOU do a little research for a change?  Don&#039;t know how to run Google?  It took me 3 minutes to relocate the confirming data.

Here&#039;s one of many reputable sources showing Hispanic income is lower than black income (bottom table):
http://www.census.gov/compendia/statab/2012/tables/12s0701.pdf

Now, here&#039;s a quote from the Wikipedia article on crime:
&quot;According to the US Department of Justice, blacks accounted for 52.5% of homicide offenders from 1980 to 2008, with whites 45.3% and &quot;Other&quot; 2.2%.&quot;   
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_crime_in_the_United_States#Homicide

Unfortunately it&#039;s hard to get a breakout of the percent of Hispanics committing murder as the FBI doesn&#039;t like the &quot;Hispanic&quot; category, but obviously it&#039;s a subset of &quot;whites&quot; and &quot;others.&quot;  With blacks committing half the murders, CLEARLY blacks kill more often than Hispanics -- even if one assumes that Hispanics commit 100% of the murders blacks don&#039;t commit.

BTW, there are almost as many Hispanics in the country as blacks.  More, if the right wingers are correct about the undercounting of illegals.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Household_income_in_the_United_States#Racial_and_ethnic_groups

Being a jerk about the veracity of my assertions with nothing to present to validate your claim just further undermines your shrinking credibility.  Your behavior is itself an effective rebuttal of both you and your assertions.]]></description>

BTW, I note you didn’t mention in your list of factors the “gangsta” culture of blacks — the rap glorification of violence (and denigration of women). Whose “fault” is that??
==
And other races don&#039;t have this (Hispanic= Mexican Mafia, La Familia; Whites= Aryan Brotherhood, Public Enemy #1) ??? Is gang activity limited to one race? As for &quot;Rap&quot;, are you telling me that only one race listens to Rap music, that whites and Hispanics and others don&#039;t listen to it?? NWA sold MILLIONS of records in CA alone with NO radio play, and if your 13% number is right that means NWA sold MORE records in CA than every man, woman and child who is black in this entire state. Please. 
///
As to poverty being the cause, Hispanics have a significantly lower per capita income than blacks. Yet blacks kill far more often.

Do you have any data to support this claim, or did you make it up?]]></description>

Rex, you are listing REASONS you claim (justify?) blacks kill more often (mostly other blacks, BTW) but that&#039;s not my point.  My point is that they DO kill more often -- the reasons why (the &quot;causation&quot;) I leave to others to figure out.

Your last sentence is just bizarre.  Perhaps you think blacks are uncomfortable in more favorable neighborhoods, so there are fewer African Americans in San Diego?]]></description>

Richard, I agree with you on many things, but this is 13%/50% is BS. Correlation does not equal causation. One reason African Americans.may be in trouble more often is because their social economic status has always been delegated to poverty levels, with very few solid role models, families destroyed by welfare dependency, rampant drug and gang issues due to the low economic status, and the fact that very few are taught the value of education and lack the guiding light and role models they need to escape a poverty cycle.  What you should do is point to those issues, which are most likely LESS in San Diego than the other  cities, and that is the most likely reason we have fewer African Americans.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[There&#039;s a missing piece to this story somewhere. An 18 month symphony of misinformation building to a crescendo and $92M? Politicians competing to respond to a problem which didn&#039;t exist? A supposedly independent salary survey coming in just as the city got a few bucks in it&#039;s account?  None of the traditional labor union thuggery? Opposition views discredited by an overwhelming sales effort?  A solution that came too fast, too easy and too big to understand?  Confused reporters writing about a 2% increase despite the obvious math that it was much bigger?  

POA doesn&#039;t have the skills, and they don&#039;t have the money it took to pull this off. Based on their track record, this goes beyond &quot;over achievers&quot;. 

This was a smart, slick sales job that POA didn&#039;t pull off on their own. I haven&#039;t seen anything like this in San Diego since the crammed ticket guarantees and a padre stadium down our throats. 

This is the first article I&#039;ve seen that tries to connect the dots, but I think it just scrapes the surface.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[One MAJOR reason San Diego has the lowest murder rate?  Brace yourself for will be deemed a racist (even though accurate) observation:  San Diego likely has the lowest percentage of blacks of the ten biggest cities.  And blacks, which constitute about 13% of the nation&#039;s population, commit just under 50% of the murders in America (see stats and URL&#039;s below).

Let  me HASTEN to add that this demographic is NOT the only factor.  Phoenix has almost the same percentage of blacks as San Diego, but triple the murder rate.  Yet overall the other big cities DO have a larger black population -- usually SIGNIFICANTLY larger.

CAUTION:  I don&#039;t have the time to get the stats for each city.  There MIGHT be one major city with a lower black population.  But, as I said, most have significantly more blacks.  NO ONE wants to talk about this aspect when discussing murders, or crimes in general.

FACTS (I had to remove the URL&#039;s for the website to publish this): 
Blacks constitute about 13.1% of America&#039;s population.

Yet when it comes to crime, the FBI reports that in 2012 blacks committed:
49.4% of all murders
32.5% of all forcible rapes
54.9% of all robberies
34.1% of all aggravated assaults
28.1% of ALL crime]]></description>
