You should be careful when posting such statistics. People might think you have racist sentiments, or worse they might enforce their own racist sentiments.

Statistics like that should come with an explanation on how these graphs correlate very strongly with social economic status and other societal effects on lower economic class communities and that actual correlation between race and criminal behaviour is not nearly as dramatic as implied here.
