According to recent statistics, 51% of the offenders in violent crimes are African American, 42% are white. In 2011, 9.8% of non-Hispanic whites (19.2 million) lived in poverty and 4.4% in deep poverty; 25.3% of Hispanics (13.2 million) lived in poverty and 10.5% in deep poverty; and 27.6% of blacks (10.9 million) lived in poverty and 12.8% in deep poverty. High poverty rates equate to high crime rates and incidence of violent crime. However, I would like to point out that most violent crime in the US is minority on minority, not as some seem to implying minority on white.
