I never said it was attributed to race.

Most of it is explained by economics, education, family structure, etc. So if all the blacks simply disappeared, their crime niche, so to speak, would eventually be filled by others -- whites, hispanics, whomever.

Not necessarily. Blacks love to smoke crack, by removing them from the population you would eliminate a large portion of 'crack consumers'. There would be no 'crack supplier' niche to fill, for example.

And more to the point, the rate is so low in any case that if all the blacks were removed, you wouldn't notice any difference.

But you said that most of the people blacks murder are other blacks. Therefor, by eliminating blacks from society, the murder rate would be cut in half both for murderers and for victims.

(*Technically speaking, what happens is there's a certain amount of the higher rate left over after controlling for obvious factors like economics and education. But that doesn't necessarily mean blacks are more violent; it just means the higher rate isn't fully explained by economics or education. It might be explained by any number of factors that simply haven't been controlled for).

All children in the US have access to a free education and all US citizens have access to work. It seems that these are just excuses for black crime, not reasons.
