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.
This tells me that blacks drive drunk at about the same rate as whites, but that they commit violent murders at a VASTLY more frequent rate relative to their population size.

BTW Stomachmonkey- Ken Lay's victims are all still alive. Lay was definitely a crook, but he wasn't a killer.
