The Barrenness

I place this here for the antis among us who might believe, due to watching lifetime movies and things of that nature, that white males are more prone to this behavior:
Everyone surely knows that the white male/black female combo is extremely rare, so these are black men who are responsible for this higher rate of beatings on black women. Black men/white women are not so rare so I wonder what percentage of white domestic violence victims were beaten by the black men in their lives?
According to a recently released study, the weapon most used by men to kill African American women was a gun.
The Violence Policy Center, a national non-profit organization that conducts research on violence in the United States stated in its annual report, "When Men Murder Women: An Analysis of 2006 Homicide Data," that 551 African American women were murdered by males that year.
Of those homicides where a murder weapon could be identified, 305 of the victims were fatally shot and most during the course of an argument.
The study stated there were 1,818 race-identified females murdered by males. And while white women accounted for the largest total of those killed–1,208–African American women were killed at a rate nearly three times higher.
In Illinois, there were 39 domestic-related homicides and 114,921 reported cases of domestic violence in 2006.
