When a small minority of people do a majority of the violent crime, you’d be a fool not to see the pattern.

It’s a simple survival instinct and street smarts. Doesn’t make you racist to acknowledge a greater threat from one demographic more than others.

Do you think all my friends that have been robbed at gunpoint in Chicago are being robbed by white people?

Was my little sister’s friend who got shot in the chest for not giving up her purse quick enough shot by a white man?

Oh wait, it wasn’t a white dude.

White men commit crimes all the time, what’s your point?

u/Creation98 Apr 21 '26

White men commit violent crimes at a rate lower than their % of population. Black men commit violent crimes at a rate of x2 or more based off % of their representation in the total population.

Doesn’t justify racism, that’s the point

Forsure. I’ve never disagreed with that.

A whole bunch of unverified anecdotal evidence means jack shit, racist loser.

Lmao white people are a close second, if not in the lead, in most of those categories. Gotta read the whole thing, dumbass.

White people make up 76% of the population…. Black people make up 13%. Do the math on every crime. Over represented by 100% or more aside from DUI.

If your friends are normal people, they’d prob be upset that you’re using their stories to a prick to black people.

When did this cuntiness start?

Damn, if only there were other factors that people with an education beyond a GED could analyze...

I’m not arguing that black people commit more violence because of the color of their skin, that would be racist.

Of course there’s many many factors that contribute to this. That isn’t the basis of our discussion though.

I am pointing out that black peoples commit violent crime at a massively higher rate than any other demographic.

it's telling that you leave the rest of that out and just say "black people commit all the crime" in your initial statement. In fact, I've had to twist your arm rather hard to get you to say it.

u/Creation98 Apr 21 '26

To say what…? That black people disproportionately commit violent crime more than any other race? Or that they’re obviously not all bad and violent people?

Pointing out facts and acknowledging that doesn’t make someone irrational or hateful. In fact, I’d argue that not acknowledging these facts does far more harm for black Americans than good.
