Fair enough. In which case I'd probably look to avoid anyone and everyone, irrespective of "pigmentary persuasion."
surely you'd been home before 2am but you couldn't find your way?

Chicago has 2.7 milion residents. About 1 million of them are non-Hispanic white.
In a typical year there's 600 murders. Of those around a half dozen are committed by whites.
Another bit of evidence as to why the Obama as a racial healer myth is so easilly dispelled. The guy can't even impress upon the blacks in his own city to obey the law.
If those numbers are accurate, then they are indeed troubling. I don't know if there is a "typical" homicide victimology among those numbers (i.e., street gang members, innocent bystanders, mugging victims, domestic violence and so on). Perhaps such a breakdown might shed some context on your numbers. Regardless, I'd still be a bit apprehensive about the jumpy white guy with the gun in his briefcase.

Blacks and browns kill in HUGE numbers everywhere in the U.S. Not just Chicago.
The stats used to be very misleading for a couple of reasons. For one until the past few years Mexicans were counted as "white". Secondly while the clearance rate for white homicides is 70-80% the "solved" rate for black/brown homicides is under 40%. The white guy who kills his wife is quickly apprehended. The gang banger who shoots two people on a street corner is rarely identified. Because FBI murder stats are compiled by arrests blacks and Mexicans are quite underrepresented.
The L.A. Times Homicide Blog tells the story. Just look at the ethnicity of Los Angeles murder victims. Out of the 35 whites 11 of them are domestic or suicide by cop leaving just 24 white victims. I bet out of those 24 leftover another 10 are Russian or Armenian gang slayings in the Valley.

Well just look at the number of homicides by whites in Toronto. Vancouver ect and you can extrapolate those percentages to the Northern cities in the States. It's not like whites in Boston are intrinsically more violent than whites in Quebec. Same rate.
The same way Blacks commit tons of murders whether they're in Chicago, Atlanta, Kingstown or Rio......
tons?! is that avoirdupois or troy?
Russians and Armenians are Asiatics.
Seems none of the Edwards apologists want to address this issue. You know, the hush money issue.
Edwards went on record saying he confessed the affair to his wife back in 2006. Now we find that he hired his mistress in Dec. of 2006 for 114K to take videos of his campaign. I can hear that conversation now. "Honey", you know that little affair I told you about? Well, I'm gonna' give her a job taking videos of me. So we're supposed to believe that Elizabeth says, sure no problem John, give her a job. Doesn't quite pass the sniff test now does it? That, and the MILLIONS that have been paid to her by his "people". All without his knowledge, of course. Yep! All sounds perfectly legit to me.
