socioeconomic

Let's take a look at New York City, the largest city in the United States and home to more than 8.3 million people. According to The CEO Poverty Measure, here's the percentage of each race that lives in or near poverty;

  • 14.0% - white
  • 22.5% - blacks
  • 25.7% - hispanics

Now, according to a 2013 estimate, here are the demographics of NYC;

  • 32.8% - white
  • 28.9% - hispanic
  • 22.6% - black

total: 8.34 million

So, some mathizadry later and we get demographics of people living in or near poverty;

  • 26.9% - white (383k)
  • 29.7% - black (424k)
  • 43.4% - hispanic (619k)

Now, let's take a look at crime, specifically the fun ones (felonies).

Murder

  • 54.0% - black
  • 36.5% - hispanic
  • 6.5% - white

Rape

  • 46.0% - black
  • 42.1% - hispanic
  • 6.0% - white

Robbery

  • 62.4% - black
  • 29.8% - hispanic
  • 5.1% - white

Aggravated Assault

  • 52.2% - black
  • 33.7% - hispanic
  • 8.9% - white

Going back and taking a look at the demographics of poors in NYC;

  • 26.9% - white
  • 29.7% - black
  • 43.4% - hispanic

It doesn't look like poverty has a very large impact on crime, at least for whites. Maybe it's different for other races. Then again, we're constantly told there are no differences.

drug war

According to the US Department of Justice...

  • 15.9% of black
  • 15.1% of hispanic
  • 14.0% of white

prisoners in state prison, home to most prisoners in the US, were in for a drug related offenses (trafficking, distributing, etc.) If we're talking just simple drug posession, then the number looks like

  • 4.0% of black
  • 4.0% of white
  • 4.2% of hispanic

It sure doesn't look like the drug war is specifically targetting any one race.
