[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can anyone provide the statistics regarding murder and robbery rates in DC?  [/quote]

Oh I'm sure can easily pull up the statistics yourself and I'm sure also you know what they indicate which is why you brought it up.  (Such a canny conversationalist)  
In any case, the statistics will show that in the District non-whites are definitely at the top of the list of perpetrators for violent crimes, but it will also show something else - their victims are predominantly non-whites also.  
So essentially, if anybody should be fearful of being murdered and/or robbed and/or assaulted by non-white people it is other non-white people.  If anybody should be ultra-cautious of non-white people it's not white people, no it is other non-white people who statistically speaking should be far more afraid.  
And yet somehow, someway, non-white people manage to stand on the platform next to other non-white people without struggling to suppress shrieks of horror because [i]they're near me[/i].  And yet somehow, someway, non-white people somehow manage to ride the train with other non-white people without experiencing a shortness of breath or having heart palpitations because [i]they're going to get me[/i].  
And one of the main reasons that non-white people are able to survive the stress of riding public transportation with other non-white people even though they are more likely to victims than white people is because as I suggested earlier - they keep their distance, they move away, and they avoid situations and circumstances that make them feel uncomfortable.  If you ever take the time to objectively observe you will notice that non-white people have no problem moving away to the other end of the platform or getting up and going to the other end of the car or changing cars entirely when there's a disturbance.[/quote]
