The black underclass commits most of the black crime, and they live in mostly-black neighborhoods. Most homicides by blacks are committed against other blacks.
The FBI puts "Hispanic" into the "white" bucket when counting crimes committed by hispanics, but into a "Hispanic" bucket when counting crimes committed AGAINST Hispanics.
So a white-on-hispanic crime would get counted as "white-on-hispanic" crime, hispanic-on-white gets counted as "white-on-white", and hispanic-on-hispanic counts as white-on-hispanic. Makes sense, doesn't it?
California breaks out Hispanic arrestees into their own group, and we see that Hispanics account for 43% of California homicide arrests.
Hispanic offenders are classified as "white". It's in the FBI Uniform Crime Reports
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, blacks make up 12.8 percent of the population -- or about 35.4 million of the country's 280 million people -- so, given the arrest rate versus population percentage, the data indicates that blacks are one-and-a-half times more likely to be arrested for a "hate crime" than whites.
Since Blacks make up a disproportionate total of crime arrests, and given the relative numbers of black-on-white versus white-on-black crimes, a Black is much less likely to have a crime against a white classified as a hate crime than vice-versa

A few reasons why "Ithaca is the City of Evil":
Originally called "Sodom" in frontier days, and home to Lucifer Falls, Ithaca is host to two colleges, Cornell U (aptly nick-named "the Big Red") and Ithaca College (which flies the gay flag over its campus), the two major employers in the area. They insure that a disproportionate amount of "ivory tower liberals" dominate the city.
Here are few typical Ithacans:
Locating copies of National Review or the American Spectator requires a trip out of the City, while Ithaca magazine racks remain well-stocked with copies of The Progressive, and The Nation. Readers interested in exposing themselves to a full range of national opinion are simply out of luck.
As a result of this dominiance, politics in Ithaca runs the gamet from "liberal" to "communist."
For years, the town had an openly socialist mayor. They later elected him to the school board.
Even today, the City and County governments are dominated by democrats and Green party members. Ithaca is so "Green" that Ralph Nader got more votes in Ithaca than George W. Bush, and the NYS Green Party held its 2002 nominating convention there. The current Chair of the County Legislature is a radical former anti-war protester, self-described hippie, who says "My values haven't changed, just my tactics."
As a result, we get lunacy like spending $500,000 to install solar panels on the new library (in cold, dark, upstate NY).
Even law enforcement is subject to political correctness. The outgoing police chief's major concern was "pushing for departmental diversity." The acting chief was chosen simply because they wanted a woman, and now spends her time attending topless protests .
To make matters worse, the liberals who dominate Ithaca work overtime to impose their ultra liberal agenda on the area children. As the local newspaper recently put it, “In most places, youngsters spend their summers camping, or at the mountains or the beach. In Ithaca, they learn how to become social activists.”
The School District has mandated that elementary school students in the first and second grades be graded on how well they "respect others of varying cultures, genders, experiences, and abilities." It's even listed on the schools' report card. Despite this alleged tolerance, a student who was found reading the bible on her lunch hour was chatised for doing so. Another was directed not to bring a book about Christmas to school.
There's even a taxpayer funded "alternative" (ie, hippie) school that let's students graduate in majors like basket weaving and political activism, and invited convicted cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal to be its graduation speaker .
These schools churn out "educated idiots," who are so liberal, they write editorials that argue "Bin Laden is Human too."
Need more proof? Do a search for "Ithaca" here at FR. You'll see a near daily dose of institutionalized, unfettered, liberal idiocy.
As a result of its unfettered liberalism, Ithaca was voted most enlightened (ie, liberal) city in America by the ultra left Utne Reader. As a good, conservative Freeper, I'm sure you'll agree that, contrary to what Utne says, "liberal" is not "enlightened." Unfettered liberalism is, well, evil.
As the most liberal city in America,"Ithaca is the City of Evil."
That's interesting to know, I always thought that's about where they ended up. I think some must have become doctors, too, as the AMA seems to have a definite leftward tilt these days. Rabbis and priests too, I guess.
I agree that those radical types are always drawn from fairly well to do families, and wish to continue the well to do lifestyle, it seem like this has been true even of people like Karl Marx (son of a Rabbi), Vladimir Lenin (son of a nobleman) and Fidel Castro (son of a plantation owner). I just looked that up. As for the actual poor or "proletariat," I believe that while they are happy for authority to confiscate wealth and "redistribute" it to them, they also dream the (politically incorrect) dream of being wealthy themselves one day.
Yeah, it was definitely uncool to be on the right in those days, if you were a student. I believe Viet Nam was a factor that helped the Left back then, also, as well as their "attitude." And I remember that the Left favored the Arabs then, as they do now. 'Course that horse doesn't run as well in today's race, but they've still got it out there anyway.
I personally considered myself a "liberal," in college, though I disliked leftist doctrine. I wasn't paying enough attention to see that liberal and left had become the same.
What river does Riverman inhabit?
You know that, and I know that.
But when Utne uses enlightened, what they really mean is un-enlightened liberalism.
So, according to Utne, Ithaca is the most liberal city in American.
Therefore, the City of Evil.
Because if you earn your own money you realize you can do a better job of managing it than the government.
Got it. Sooo what has the reaction been there to the slogan?
That's for sure. I reckon those radical types only like authority when they are it.
Not surprisingly, perverse pleasure.
I are an engineer.
I were also a delegate at the 2002 Texas GOP Convention.
