Except that doesn't explain the phenomenon of black crime. Hispanics are a larger minority group than blacks and have a similar percentage of their population living below the poverty line, and are actually more likely to drop out of high school and not graduate college than blacks, yet they commit a fraction of the violent crime that blacks commit. The next excuse thrown out would be "racism", yet blacks were not as violent 50 years ago when there was much more racism against them to deal with.
