wikipedia article says that class is the main factor in higher crime rates, not race.

In other words, I note, that black men who commit violent crimes and suicides with guns are over 2x less likely to own a gun. Where do they get their guns then? Obviously, they steal them. There are lots of guns around for blacks to steal. And those blacks who own them, can more easily get them in a state like Indiana and bring them to a state like Illinois.

Quote:"We knew going into it that whites would have a higher rate of suicide and that black men would have a higher rate of homicide, but to see that level of variation in the rates across states was surprising," she said. "Any time I see variations so large like that, that can't be due to chance. I want to know why the differences exist."
The researchers also examined the relationships between gun ownership and these homicide and suicide rates by race and state. They used 2004 data, the most recent available, on household firearm ownership in the US from the CDC's national Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System.
They found that rates of gun ownership in a state were positively associated with both homicide and suicide rates among white men but only modestly associated with homicide and suicide rates among black men.
