    I broke the numbers down for you and it looks much more accurate and positive. It looks bad for those who like to stereotype and who fail to grasp that roughly 13 percent of the population (100 percent of blacks in the country) are not responsible for the fraction of a percent of murders committed by a teensy fraction of a percent of people. I was just posting in a hurry. I hope I've cleared it up for you.

    It's a good thing that the overall number of murders is less than a fraction of a percent a year.

    13 percent don't cause it. That's a skewed and illogical way of looking at it.

    You seem to really not like the fact blacks are over-represented in the murder rate by a factor of, what, 4?

    I think you mean that anti-racists correctly interpret their stats as a generalization taken out of context. However, kudos on your ability to digest that point.

    Dude - 99.9 percent of blacks aren't represented by the stats. What's not to like about that? I don't like people to spread race-based generalizations.

    And yet, per capita, blacks commit murder 4x more often than whites.

    When that represents so few people (relative to the millions in the country) it just doesn't mean what racists like to make it mean. I think that's clear for any logical, thinking person to see. My work is done.

    Just more than twice as big as the % of white people who commit murder.

    I said my sources mention %'s, and you just put them up. So you invented it's per capita. lol
    All in all... you're trying to poke holes in the data of my sources like you're some kind of expert.
    But you're just acting like one of them "experts" poking in the data about covid and claim to know it better then the expert.
    Total joke. My sources stand. I'm not accepting your opinion against my sources as a valid argument.

    Opinions aren’t scientific sources, but I’m pretty sure you don’t want people to know that. What a joke.

    This was all about Smith saving face in front of his wife, rather than defending his wife. After initially laughing at the joke he turned to see that his wife didn't find it funny. Instead of facing the "music" later about laughing he thought he could save himself by appearing to save his wife's honor. The joke/yolk is on his face.

    That makes perfect sense. I'm pointing out to you that saying 13 percent of the population is responsible for 50 percent of the homicides is an inaccurate interpretation. It's also racist, IMO. That statement implicates all black Americans. Instead, the circa .000001 percent who actually commit such heinous acts are responsible and it should be stated as such. So, the statement could more accurately be .000001 of people are responsible.

    It looks like that's what happened.

    There was no concession whatsoever. I just have limited time to spend correcting you.

    I actually prefer engaging with you over those who are bewildered by the subtext of this type of conversation. I don't agree that I'm flailing at a strawman, because there are people who intentionally misrepresent and weaponize rates. I'm not implicating anyone in particular. Your sarcasm made me smile because it is an indication of your level of comprehension.

    You should notify the department of Justice and the FBI that their crime statistics are racist!

    Statistics aren't racist. Intentionally presenting them out of context is the issue.

    I mean i understand now what you are saying but the 13 and 50 remains completely accurate. Maybe a better way to say is "a minority group that represents 13% of our overall population accounts for 50% of our murders through a smaller subset"

    Stats aren't racist, which any logical person sees.

    Correct. The -actual- % of murders is 55.9%
    Statistics aren't racist.
    No, just the black Americans that commit 55.9% of the murders.[/quote]
