Here's a much more unbiased view of murder by race:

Murder Most Swedish
American Thinker, by Randall Hoven
How is the U.S. like Sweden? In its low murder rate. That is, if you include in the statistics only non-blacks in the U.S. legally.

In 2011, the latest year for which the FBI has published statistics, there were 14,612 cases of "murder and non-negligent manslaughter "in the U.S. That equates to a rate of 4.7 per 100,000 inhabitants. That rate of 4.7 is about average over all countries in the world, but it is high for advanced countries such as those of northern and western Europe. The most recent rates for the UK and France, for examples, are 1.2 and 1.1, respectively.

The U.S. rate of 4.7 is what makes so many people think of the U.S. as a violent place full of guns and gun-crazy cowboys. (Venezuela's rate, by contrast, is 45 per 100,000. It must be those vaqueros.)

The FBI also has some data on the demographics of who commits these murders. The race of the "offender" was known in 10,471 cases. Blacks accounted for 5,486 of them, or 52%.

The statistics are harder to come by for illegal aliens, but in 2011 the Government Accountability Office estimated that 25,064 criminal aliens (interesting choice of words) had been arrested for murder. There are two things we don't know about that number: (1) over how many years, and (2) how many murders were committed by criminal aliens who were not arrested for it? (And (3) was it the murder that made them criminal aliens or were they criminal aliens because they were here illegally?)

Via World Net Daily, "Twelve Americans are murdered every day by illegal aliens, according to statistics released by Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa."** That amounts to 4,380 per year. That number is not out of line with the GAO's number, given that not all murderers are arrested and given that the arrests reported by the GAO occurred over a number of years.

So let's do the arithmetic: of the 14,612 murders in the U.S. in 2011, about 7,656 were committed by blacks and another 4,380 were committed by illegal aliens. That leaves 2,576 committed by non-black people who are here legally.

In round numbers, there are about 250 million non-blacks in the U.S. legally. So their murder rate is about 1.0 per 100,000, or the same as Sweden's.

It's not the "cowboys" who are doing the killing. In fact, Idaho, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming have murder rates significantly lower than the U.S. average. Texas itself is close to average. Illinois, the last state to allow concealed carry and the only state to require a special ID to purchase either guns or ammunition, has an above average rate. (One suspects Chicago’s rate is above Venezuela’s.)

By the way, the statistics say that 99.98% of blacks did not commit murder in 2011. (It’d be interesting to know what the percentage of the 100,000 murders by legal-non-blacks is by leftists.)
If this world did not have professional racists, people would get along a whole lot better
What Do George Zimmerman and Roderick Scott Have

**I guess the idiots in Congress believe that making them legal will somehow reduce this murder rate!!!

The 2nd Amendment IS an unalienable right.
