accepting the premise here is such a cop out. You're right, of course
I'm not sure how I'm accepting the premise? The "racial" connection breaks down because it doesn't explain crime rates among poor whites. When you factor in income inequality, it explains crime rates across races and race ends up not being a statistically significant predictor.
No not you! Sorry, I meant the 'argument' itself is bunkum, and only used to further denigrate black people/imply innate criminality.
