  Isn't it amazing that these aren't the same statistics we see in mainstream media?
  (sarcasm intended)
  Kind of makes me say hmmmmm????
  Also, would you cite this? I would like to look at some other statistics as well.
  Thanks for the info!

    It is so unfortunate that people who don't know who they are act so violently.  This confusion is the anger they live with everyday because they are so hurt by their marginal life.  
  Mr.Cosby tells some truth in his summation of what's needed, but most of all people need love. They need to love themselves first.  You can't hate yourself and love others. African Americans have hundreds of years of abuse and ignorance to overcome.  Let's wipe out four hundred years of your history and see how confident, self supporting and congenial you are.
  Where's the love?  
  Come on people, love yourself and then extend that to others!
