“In fact, the FBI found violent crimes not only drastically decreased over the past several decades, but that white people commit more of them. (Violent crime is still proportionately higher among blacks.)”
“White individuals were arrested more often for violent crimes than individuals of any other race, accounting for 58.7 percent of those arrests” in 2012, the FBI said.”
Either one of those blurbs are incorrect, or they are admitting that whites are more likely to be arrested for crimes they didn’t commit.
Nugent is correct in what he wrote, whining about it doesn’t change the facts.
