I think the black and Hispanic communities have a problem that needs to be address from within, not by ineffective (mostly white) politicians. Unfortunately every black and Hispanic politician is a grifter and takes advantage of the communities they’re supposed to represent to make themselves rich

Obviously it's cherry picking but if you remove the 5 cities with the largest number of murders the US as a whole (with a much larger population) looks more like Scandinavian countries. Those are Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, Philadelphia and Washington DC.
When you include them our stats more like the third world and Central/South American countries for murder rate.
Its definitely a problem but it's more of an isolated issue than a national one.

This is common myth continuously trotted out. It's complete fake news.
Fact is removing those cities barely dents the national crime stats.

But what is true is that the homicide rate among US whites is in line with those of Europe.

Can you show that math? I don't see how that could be true when even small-midsize towns in the US have higher per-capita murder rates than Scandinavian countries.

Thats cherry picking.

Right. My point is that even if you cherry-pick to intentionally reduce it, US has a higher murder rate, so I don't see how OP could cherry-pick and come up with a lower one.

I’d say all politicians are like that

You’re not wrong, but try saying this in any major subreddit and not getting banned
