Dept. of Justice Murder Statistics

According to this report on the Breitbart.com website, U.S. Department of Justice crime statistics show that blacks, who make up 13% of the U.S. population, constitute almost half of the country's total murder victims. Of the 16,500 people murdered in 2005, roughly 8000 were black. Furthermore, 6800 of these 8000 were males. Interestingly,

Most murder victims -- 93 percent of blacks and 85 percent of whites -- were killed by someone of their own race.

These are some scary numbers. It appears the violence in hip-hop music is no exaggeration.
