I find that it contradicts the tropes of both right and left: Excessive black crime is caused by the post-60s welfare state (Sowell, Limbaugh, etc.), or excessive black crime is caused by racism (the black-white gap has in fact gotten bigger as Jim Crow recedes into the past).M.G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06817230141673953233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740067042613887004.post-72154528799105089542012-01-07T16:35:03.447+01:002012-01-07T16:35:03.447+01:00First breakdown of the historic crime rate by race...First breakdown of the historic crime rate by race that I've come across so far.
