Because it is a racist comment. I mean do you think black men are over represented in violent crime because something in their "black genes" make them more violent or do you think it's a socio-economic issue that would effect any race (like the Scottish knife crime issue that has been brought up before). Pointing out that it's a "black crime" is wrong because being black isn't the reason that they turn to crime, surely pointing out the real reason is the sensible thing to do if the cause is to be tackled properly?
