Does “The Talk” include crime statistics?

Police and everybody else, despite any amount of training and good intentions, are still just people and will be influenced by patterns around them. I live in northeast Washington, DC. I don’t know how likely it is that I or a member of my family will be beaten, robbed, killed or raped by a stranger. But I would bet anything and everything I have that if any of that does happen, it will be done by a black guy. If I wasn’t so absolutely positive of that, I’m not sure The Talk would be needed.
