    While I agreed with the general tenor of the article, I find the 93% stat unremarkable. Whites for instance have an 85% chance of being killed by whites only an 8% difference.

    Everyone is highly likely to be murdered by their own ethnic group for the simple fact that most people murdered are murdered by someone they knew.

    Discussion over racism is obviously hard to tackle. Boxing champ Jack Johnson said of racism “I always thought the best way to react to racism was as if it did not exist”. This obviously has problems in a society where a small percentage of people persist in its continued use to the detriment of many.
