What Do They Really Have In Common

Somebody saved me a lot of time in writing this blog about crime. I read part of my research in an e-mail about the safest cities in America. The subject came up when the city where I live was listed as one of the most dangerous. I would argue with that overall, but it does have some validity. This information gave credence to one of my earlier suspicions. There is a direct correlation with cities with majority Black populations and crime. Take a look at what cities are considered the safest:


America’s Safest Cities: Less Diversity, More Safety14 out the 15 of America's most dangerous cities are minority majority cities with Detroit, the most dangerous, having a black population making up over 80% of the population. To be certain the city fathers of Detroit were unhappy with this distinction and sent out their black female chief of police to berate the media for reporting a fact we have all known. Is diversity truly a strength as we are told?Let’s have the empirical evidence speak for itself once again using population figures from the US Census from the year 2000.

Safest Cities:
15. Lake Forest, California-Whites:76.02 %, Blacks: 1.83%, Hispanics: 4.24%

14. Dover, New Jersey-Whites: 93.57%, Blacks: 1.75%, Hispanics: 4.5%

13. Round Rock, Texas-Whites: 76%, Blacks: 7.7%, Hispanics: 22.1%

12. Orem, Utah-Whites: 90.8%, Blacks: 0.3%. Hispanics: 8.56%

11. Thousand Oaks, California- Whites: 85.09%, Blacks:0.54%, Hispanics: 13.1%

10. Coral Springs, Florida- Whites: 81.5%, Blacks: 9.16%, Hispanics: 15.1%

9. Greece, New York- Whites: 93.37%, Blacks: 2%, Hispanics: 2.5%

8. Cary, North Carolina- Whites: 82.17%, Blacks: 6.15%, Hispanics: 4.28%

7. Irvine, California- Whites: 61.06%, Blacks: 1.45%, Hispanics: 7.37%

6. Colonie, New York- Whites: 90.5%, Blacks: 3.96%, Hispanics: 1.86%

5. Troy, Michigan- Whites: 82.3%, Blacks: 2.09%, Hispanics: 1.46%

4. Newton, Massachusetts-Whites: 88.07%, Blacks: 1.97%, Hispanics: 2.52%

3. Mission Viejo, California-Whites: 83%, Blacks: 1.15%, Hispanics: 12.10%

2. Amherst, New York- Whites: 89.28%, Blacks: 3.9%, Hispanics: 1.36%

1. Brick, New Jersey- Whites: 95.81%, Blacks: 0.9%, Hispanics: 3.85%


All of the mayors are white, the majority of each city council is white (Round Rock Texas has 1 Hispanic council member and Lake Forest, California has 1 black council member). Only in 6 of these cities do blacks and Hispanics add up to double digit percentages of the total population. The diversity mongers may not like these numbers but they are hard/impossible to argue with.

Then we flip the script and look at the other side. The most dangerous cities in America are made up somewhat the opposite. Let's take a look at them and compare. To be fair in my comparison , even though it sparked the discussion. My city didn't rank high enough for this comparison.
