Maybe but that doesn't make the perception justified. And what do you mean by white problem, that whites are the main victims? If so then its more the perpetrators that have the problem isn't it?
Firstly, Getafix you are a crude and idiotic racist. As you are a lost cause, I will not bless your rantings with a response.
Syndyre, you adopt a very subtle approach, but I guess your underlying message is that there might be a valid reason for the perception.
Let me state the obvious, whites are not the main victims of crime. The Institute of Security Studies which is a non-profit regional research institute publishes the SA crime quarterly. Their 2005 third quarter publication shows a crime survey which indicates that blacks disproportionaly bear the brunt of crime and are more likely to be murdered than their pale counterparts. I hope that settles the issue.
I guess given the the demographics and the past history of country (Yes, I mention it and await the "don't blame it on aparthied" chorus from the liberal whites and rightwing zealots) more of the perpertrators will be black.
On a more realistic plane, my anguish and pain would be the same whether my daughter was raped by a black or white thug. The trauma is the same. The colour of the perpetrator does not lessen the pain.
N.B. Nobody commented when I mentioned that I was once robbed by two white guys, I wonder why?
