I read in the news that just about ever serial killer is a white man between the ages of like 25 and 40ish. why are whites, percentage wise, more prone to kill randomly for no apparant reason?

given majority in US are white, but percentage wise.....................

(im white)

Or maybe because they are the only one's that are caught, therefore, creating the stereotype that all serial killers are white. Huhhh huhhh! Didnt think of that didya?

because white people just snap and start killing, the Blacks kill because that's what they do in gangs and it's expected so the news doesn't cover it.

this thread is dumb

It is because of the burden and guilt associated with slave ownership

What are the %s?

It's pretty close to 100% white male. I can't think of any black serial killers other than the D.C. snipers. Only female I know of is the chick they made that movie Monster about.

Go to google and enter "black +serial killer +atlanta"

There have been black serial killers.

According to this, 22% of serial killers are black. That would make them MORE likely to be serial killers than whites, since the black population is only 12% of the US.

National expert Eric W. Hickey, speaking with The Daily Advertiser from his Fresno, Calif., home, said that police sometimes make assumptions based on race.

?It?s a myth that serial killers are all white. There are actually several black serial killers, but historically, we have not paid much attention,? Hickey said. ?If a poor, black male was preying on black prostitutes, it wouldn?t make the news.?

Hickey said roughly 80 percent of serial killers are white, but a recent study he conducted of 400 serial killers showed 22 percent to be of African-American descent.

At any given time, Hickey said, there are 30 to 40 active serial killers on the loose in the United States.

Most serial killings tend to be within race lines, white-on-white or black-on-black, Hickey said. That should have tipped off police in Atlanta when they were investigating the slayings of more than 20 black children, for which Wayne Williams, a black man, was arrested in June 1981.
