Is it ok to ask if there are any predominately white cities that are awash with crime? Can anyone think of one?

Nashville, Tennessee.

[wardaddy]

I live in Nashville.

Nashville is 26% black.

Legal latino population is around 8% which trust me indicates that if you include illegals then it has to be at least 2-3 times that.

hence the white population is probably more like 50-55% these days....hardly predominate.

And if you look at who commits the crimes at what rate then you will see how the problem lies in Nashville same as elsewhere.

Did you really think Nashville is in the top ten because whites are running around pell mell committing crimes like they are in East St Louis or Camden NJ?

If so you need to read up more. There are simply no cities in the nation where whites are repsonsible for large crime rates. None. If someone knows of one please pass it on.

and drunk in Anchorage or Fairbanks or Bangor in the winter does not count.

the only exceptions to the whites and crime stats might be the occasional rural town where local crackers run the dope and gambling and vices and have corrupted law and politics....the sorta stuff you see on 60 Minutes

but that does not translate into higher random victim crime rate...just more vice and corruption....the streets might be perfectly safe.

think Tracy City Tennessee or Hot Sprngs Arkansas 50 years ago or Biloxi Mississippi

There, fixed it.

(Yes, there are high crime 'hoods and barrios in almost every American city today. Take them out, and you have crime like Norway or Saskatchewan.)
