Blacks, as of yet, have not really gained much of an opportunity to advance. They have started at a much lower level than whites. I'm almost a 100% sure that economic level will show the true correlation between people and murder. Hence, as opposed to viewing and fearing blacks, it is better to look out at the poor.
