White on black because that is all you hear about in the news.
Black on black crime is ignored and black on white crime is encouraged.

Of the two, black on black. some have said this is because poor people commit property crimes against rich people. but rape is not a property crime, and there are virtually no white-on-black rapes in the US.
I would prefer to think of everyone as an individual rather than a member of a group. Yet the Zimmerman trial was covered in a way that highlighted the issue, and Obama's remarks have kept it going.

There is more white on black, even more so is black on black crime. Most black criminals don't care about race but economic standing, there's more white people in proportion and more that are working class who is considered rich by some while most blacks live by black folks so they run into criminals on a normal basis. Since white people are the majority once in a while crime affects them sometimes with
the excuse with a sterotype like their rich. The poverty stricken in every society statistly turns to crime and are uneducated regardless of race.

Here is the race and crime reports by the F.B.I 2012

There is more black on white crime, white on black crime.. Its a well known fact. No comparison at all or not even close.
in reality there is more black on black crime than black on white crime. Competition of drug territories, gang war, poverty, or just plain thug culture is the reason is the destruction of the black community.
If you are white, asian or well dress black uncle tom walking in the streets of gthetto side of brookyln. You are in a high percentage of being victimized by random hoodlum looking for a cheap thrill. How do i know this? I myself have been robbbed falling asleep in the train stop. Even rappers brag about realities of the " hood" .
To make it more clearer here is a video of average crime not being reported. I see this many times myself living in nyc.

Who really cares? Crime is crime. Some have motives and some are senseless and don't make any sense whatsoever. I don't know anyone who hasn't been confronted by ANY race without a negative connotation that DOESN'T know that NOT all of a certain race behave the same. I do know some individuals who won't let their wives anywhere near a black or minority neighborhood because they were mugged. What this person doesn't say is that he loves to call them names. Not that this gives reason for retaliation, but it does give you reason WHY.

Blacks statistically are 3 times more likely to commit some sort of crime rather than whites, unfortunately. There no theoretical explanation to as why this accurs. A lot depends on the people.

If you look at the number of arrested you see that it is not all crimes where there is a disproportionate number of blacks arrested but only robbery and homicide so it is not ¨ crime¨ but robberies that people who worry about the high Black crime rate are really talking about. There are only about 4000 homicides by Blacks by evey year and the vast majority of victims are other Blacks people.

Once you understand this the why is easy, you rob people you think have something worth stealing.

Black on white. Hatred. Upbringing. Excused as xyz...you know, same ol same ol...poor, stupid, oppressed. But when even worse conditions exist with other races they are not excused. So it's culture. Not intelligence. Not color or nature. Certainly not poverty. Not oppression. It's a choice. I've never met a black person who had it worse than me. Not saying they don't exist. I'm smart enough to know better. But I've had it bad. Homeless, abused etc. I CHOSE not to commit crimes against people, even against people who committed crimes against me and used race as an excuse. Whatever you feel about other races, it does not excuse abuse and criminal activity.

Actually the predation appears to be internal. It's white on white, black on black most of the time!
