A: That's true.  Many do.  And if blacks and Hispanics did it at the same rate as whites and Asians then few would complain.  But they don't.  In fact, according to the New Century Foundation's study, The Color of Crime:

There is more black-on-white than black-on-black violent crime.

Of the approximately 1,700,000 interracial crimes of violence involving blacks and whites, 90 percent are committed by blacks against whites.

Blacks are therefore up to 250 times more likely to do criminal violence to whites than the reverse.

Blacks commit violent crimes at four to eight times the white rate.

Hispanics commit violent crimes at approximately three times the white rate, and Asians at one half to three quarters the white rate.

Blacks are twice as likely as whites to commit hate crimes.

Blacks are as much more dangerous than whites as men are more dangerous than women.

So while it's true that there are a great many commonalities between the hopes and dreams of white and black individuals, our differences are at least, if not more, important to the present and future well-being of our society.
