Rape

93.3 percent of rape in Chicago is committed by African-Americans and Hispanics.


Robbery


Of the 2,759 robberies committed in Chicago in 2009, 2,352 of those robberies were committed by African-Americans, which means that African-Americans are responsible for 85.2 percent of robbery in Chicago  10.8% of robberies are committed by Hispanics for a total 96% for BOTH races.

Aggravated Assault

It is clear that 96.8 percent of homicides 93.3 percent of rapes 96 percent of robberies, and 91.8 percent of aggravated assaults  =  94.5 percent of all violent crime in Chicago is committed by African-Americans and Hispanics.  If African-Americans and Hispanics were removed from Chicago , 95 percent of violent crime in Chicago would disappear along with them.
