Hudson's Classroom Bull


She told only white male students to stand up when she was profiling potential serial killers. Guess what, over 20% of serial killers are black too. So just like any other crime, blacks are very well represented.

What are they doing? Why do they come here?
Some kind of instinct, memory, what they used to do.

Hmm, that leaves 80%. SHe explains the whole process about the predominant number being white.

Facts aren't bull. 80% of serial killers are white. This is why she tells 20% of the class to sit down. A majority are men too so it would be correct to tell the women to sit down. Serial killers also tend to kill within their own race. See Wayne Williams, however, it isn't against the rules for serial killers to go across racial lines to kill their victims. See John Allen Muhammad.(I used black serial killers only for comparison)

Donny! We got a German here who wants to die for country. Oblige him.

reply

Her facts were right. She was basically saying the majority of serial killers are white males. She was right.

reply

And the Green River Killer killed across racial lines--white, black, Hispanic, Asian and Native American. And they just found another body likely connected to him.

reply

I think it's bull that most are white. In America most are white but South Africa has a lot of black serial killers.

reply

22% are black, look at the last one they caught.

reply

How can we know the real percentage, most of the serial killers that have been caught are white but that doesn't mean most of them are white. Think of all the serial killers that haven't been caught. They can be any race.

reply

Unless youve got other statistic to prove her false most serial killers that we know of are white.

reply

Well I always hear something different, sometimes I hear that most are white, or many are black too,and equal between white and black. Like I said who really knows, a serial killer can be anyone.

Don't know if anyone ever noticed this: in the classroom scene where Dr.Hudson asks the non White men to sit down, 1 Asian guy remains standing. LOL, I just noticed this recently and thought it was funny.

reply

White serial killers are 80%, same with the white population. Black serial killers are 20%, higher than the black population.

reply

Theres the math. She said 9 out of 10 serial killers are white males like that.
