    Perhaps government can deem their profession nonessential and pay them to sit home alone!

    Maybe we should.

    When I was younger (and dinosaurs roamed the Earth) I remember that one of the most "beloved" of mathematics branches was number theory. And the reason was "It's so useless, no one will ever find any application for it". Today it is largely the basis of most computer security.

    Go figure.

    These two posts seem to disagree with each other. It looks like whites are in second or third place.

    ah whataboutism....
    Thing is, that a lot of violent crime is drugs related. The current high profile case of Johnny Depp in court, is a shining example of domestic abuse in combination with drugs. It's typical. Trials are dime a dozen about people stealing for drugs or prostitution for drugs as well. And lets nog forget gang violence. This is all related to white people punching above their weight in dealing and using drugs.

    ey? Only very recently are black men drying more than white men. It says nothing who uses/deals the most drugs. Have you bothered to look into it?

    time to end the war on drugs, this is what happens when people do not know what they are buying

    just like during alcohol prohibition when people did not know what was in their alcohol, the %, ect....

    I think you all have used the term "whataboutism" so many times, you have totally lost it's value.

    I merely stated to use your same logic, but for gun violence.

    You're just deflecting the topic with that gun violence thing.
    So that whataboutism is a just call. Get over it.

    And yet your argument is with the "white people" as the primary consumer of illicit drugs in this country as the issue while totally deflecting the discussion that the border is wide open to the free flow of drugs coming into this nation. You offer no solution other than "stop using drugs white people" while the free flow of illicit drugs continue to enter through our Southern border unabated. Your "whataboutsim" is nothing more than a lack of rebuttal. The topic of gun violence was merely a rhetorical response to your logical fallacy.

    There is no deflecting of the topic about drugs flowing into the country by noting who is selling and using the most drugs in the country.
    Your idea that this is deflecting comes without any kind of argument, and so it just pure nonsense.
    I am narrowing down who is causing the problem the most, so it can be solved.

    You're not explaining how gun use is relevant. Hence it's just deflecting / whataboutism.

    You're still trying to muddy the waters, or "deflecting" as you put it. Non violent crime like personal drug use is nothing compared to the violent crime rates as shown to you about 89 times already where we know exactly who is committing those high numbers. You just wanna play the race card as much as possible because you have nothing else to offer than virtue signaling.
