The creator of “Dilbert”, Scott Adams – who has a net worth of around $75 million, advised white people “to get the hell away from black people”.  Adams is brilliant. He graduated as validictorian from his high sschool class.

So wy would he say “..get the hell away from black people?  One reason is if you are a white person that finds themselves among black people you could become a victim of a violent crime… Information from the FBI clearly shows black people commit about 60% of all violent crime in America despite them being 14% of the population. Why is this? Whatever the reasons; poverty, education, intelligence, nature, a corrupt criminal justice system,.. black people are 400% more likely to commit a crime than the rest of the population….

As a number of analysts have begun to notice, blacks are about 50 times more likely to commit violent crimes against whites than whites are to commit violent crimes against blacks. So Scott Adam’s advice seems well-stated.

Like the Sentencing Project’s “1 in 3” number, this “50 to 1” statistic is technically correct. If you divide the total number of black-on-white violent crimes in 1993 (1.29 million) by the number of black males age 20 to 29 in the population in 1993 (3.94 million), you get a ratio equal to 1,013 violent crimes against whites per 10,000 young black males.

When you do the same calculation for the total number of white-on-black crimes (186,000) divided by the total number of twenty-something white males (22.9 million), you get a ratio of 17.6 violent crimes committed by whites against blacks for every 10,000 young white males. Thus, the incidence of interracial black-on-white violent crime by young black males (1,013) is 57.5 times the incidence of interracial white-on-black crime by young white males (17.6). Using different denominators (for example, white versus black males age 15 to 29) moves the statistic down a bit (in the example given, to 48 to 1). But it clusters around “50 to 1.”
