Raw numbers don't matter. Only percentage of population. I would suspect that the poor make up a higher percentage of the black population than the white population and so therefore have a stronger influence on the stats.
It was an example. I do not believe it to be true. I was illustrating that causation does not equal correlation. I think there are certainly cultural factors but those stats aren't the smoking gun that some people think they are.
