Apropos of John Derbyshire's post about the question "Hedgeless Horseman's" wife and kids ask — "why do you think it is, Dad, that the murderers and robbers are usually black?" — I have had the same experience.

Years ago, my oldest son, now a grown man asked me, "why are blacks so violent?"Last week, my youngest daughter told me that blacks terrify her and she fears going to the city. She had much the same question (paraphrasing here): Why do blacks seem to commit so much crime?
