If he was trying to convince us that he is not racist, he did a poor job. He loves throwing out stats from the right wing blogosphere which are of questionable validity or flat out wrong.
As a white person, he is more likely be killed by another white person than by someone black. I didn't feel like spending a whole lot of time trying to dispute the claims of this vidiot, but from a quick google search.

"Yet the disturbing truth, according to the FBI's most recent homicide statistics, is that the United States is in the wake of an epidemic of white-on-white crime. Back in 2011, the most recent year for which data is available, a staggering 83 percent of white murder victims were killed by fellow Caucasians."
And as I mentioned in other threads, it was not the racism or homophobia (which he conveniently neglected to mention) that probably got him banned. Like LHUCKS, it was the totality of his posting history. And if it wasn't for the threats of suicide and litigation, he would have been gone long before this (and would have been banned from most sites just for that).
Those are interesting stats. Are Hispanics and Asians considered white? The data table shows only white, black, unknown, and other. Other only accounts for only 180 murders. That is sort of misleading in my opinion.
It is true that from pure numbers, a white is more likely to be killed by a white, however blacks in 2011 killed 448 whites in total. While whites only killed 193 blacks. I am sorry to say, but seeing that there are way less blacks in our country than whites(39 mil to 223 mil), this is proof that they are way more racist. This supports Em's point.
Why anyone worries about this, I don't know. We have 316000000 people and there were only about 6000 murders total, so the likelihood of getting murdered is actually pretty low. Em probably has better odds of getting a bj from a black guy than getting killed by one. (I am not certain on this, the FBI does not have BJ tracking stats at this point, so we will have to wait. It seems pretty reasonable though.)
Plus usually you have to do something wrong to get murdered. People do not just kill you for no reason. You have to do something stupid like not pay a gambling bill, sell fake drugs, flash somebody, or spit in the popcorn. The data shows that despite whites outnumbering blacks by 223 million to 39 million, blacks get killed at almost the same rate (3100 to 2700)overall, so they are making choices that are bad or stupid at a way higher rate. That means they are not thinking straight at a higher rate.
One interesting point that Em never picked from this data is that whites are way more sexist. White victims are 36% female, while blacks only kill 22% female. I infer from this that blacks are more respectful of women in general and practice chivalry on a higher basis, while whites probably harbor more resentment toward women because maybe they have some sort of inferiority complex and then want to kill them. Obviously, whites have a long way to go on womens' rights while blacks can hang their hat on respecting the ladies (probably because they like sex more).
Overall, both races have their pluses and minuses, but people probably do not need to worry about getting murdered because it does not happen very often. It probably is not worth getting in an argument over.
