Here's an interesting tidbit.

According to DOJ, there were just under 10,000 arrests for murder in 06.

Split pretty much 50-50 between black and white.

So the percentage of blacks arrested for murder is wildly out of proportion to their representation in the gen pop.

914,000 arrests of whites for DWI vs only 95,000 for blacks.

There are ~25,000 alcohol related vehicular deaths a year.

That's 2.5 x's the combined murder arrest rate.

So I deduce you have a dramatically higher probability of being killed by a white guy with a car than by a black guy with a gun.
