No, I was just suggesting if you are going to provide a reference that you
should ensure it actually reflects the point you are trying to prove. The fact
is the data you provided in that link did not prove that 53.4% of murders in
1998 were committed by blacks. I would suggest you actually review the data in
the FBI Uniform Crime Reports and restrict your comments to what is actually
shown in those reports.
