Overview In 2011, an estimated 14,612 persons were murdered in the United States. This was a 0.7 percent decrease from the 2010 estimate, a 14.7 percent decline from the 2007 figure, and a 10.0 percent decrease from the 2002 estimate. There were 4.7 murders per 100,000 inhabitants, a 1.5 percent decrease from the 2010 rate. Compared with the 2007 rate, the murder rate declined 17.4 percent, and compared with the 2002 rate, the murder rate decreased 16.8 percent. Nearly 44 percent (43.6) of murders were reported in the South, the most populous region, 21.0 percent were reported in the West, 20.6 percent were reported in the Midwest, and 14.8 percent were reported in the Northeast. Expanded murder data-Facts www.fbi.gov So what does the title of this thread have to do with the contents of the OP?

Murders are committed by all races of people. Some seem to be bias as to who commits murder and where the murders take place. Stats show better than Opinions.

Your stats aren't reflecting what ethnic group or race commits more crime. Where is the (logic) in your argument?

Well the murder rate is always higher in the south because of the illegals coming in from Mexico...this also explains the decrease in murder rates, because of the Incredibly long economic depression we face from this administration, less illegals are coming here and thereby, less crime. Opinions here no Real facts. Not opinion..it is fact. most violent crime in the south happens in border cities and towns. From drug lords, illegals and trespassing on farmers land(that border mexico). interesting , but violent crime doesn't just happen in the south so,,,whats that to do with dropping crime rates nationally again? the article didn't say the crime rates were "dropping", the article says a "decrease" from the year before... and that being 2 years old, you cannot say "national crime rates dropping... is that how all liberals read things? no wonder this country is on a fast slide down...

Expanded murder data-Facts www.fbi.gov Umm I don't see anything on what races committed the murders. But I would guess that all races murder people.

According to the above U.S. statistics . . . 49.0% of murderers are white; 46.8% of murderers are black. 79.6% of the American population is white; 12.9% is black. 79.6% of the population is responsible for 49.0% of murders. 12.9% of the population is responsible for 46.8% of murders.

To do it right, need per capta figures. The percentages of all groups. Realistically, there are around 300 ethnic groups. Each needs to be represented.

The stats included all races, hence, murders come in all races. Even someone from the Hebei Province in Northern China could see that. Duh
