30. This is actually not just ten percent of cases.

If this happens to be a Hate-Crime, which this sounds like to me--mixed in with a possible bit of dementia based on the comments of other posters. Then of the hate crimes out there, 47% is racially motivated...and of those racially motivated Blacks are 70% more likely to be targeted. I would rephrase this 10%---and even if it is marginalized to your estimated 10%, it still matters and I'm glad there are people on DU getting a clue and understanding the plight of what some of us "non-whites" go through.

Not to mention, the same could be said about White on White crime; and the racial demographic of serial killers in the US and who they tend to target. But this doesn't matter...it would seem.

However, this entire topic is derailing the point of the post.
