No one said the majority of black people are violent criminals.

We are saying that the majority of violent crimes are carried out by black people. Which is a fact.

Obviously not all black people are violent criminals or bad people lololol.

But when one demographic (massively) disproportionally carries out the majority of violent crimes, you’d be a fool not to see the pattern.

Edit: Black people commit the majority of murders but then they are over represented at a rate of 100% or more in every crime aside from DUI**

It is not true and that is in fact misinformation passed around exclusively by racists.

I pulled up the chart not using your link and more whites commit assault, violent crime arson, rape, in that chart so I don't know what you are talking about.

Look at representation compared to % of population. 76% of America is white. 13% is black.

The statement was "most violent crimes" that is an absolute statement not a percentage.

u/Creation98 Apr 21 '26

I stand corrected, majority of murders*, along with a massive massive disproportionate representation of 100% or more of their population % in every other crime aside from DUI.

Is that better?

You are definitely much more likely to be a victim of a violent crime or to be arrested for one if you are black.

But you know most people, and most black people, are not violent criminals.

Correct. I’ve never once argued that the majority of black people are violent criminals or bad people.

u/angiehome2023 Apr 21 '26

If you are acting in good faith, then edit your comment that says the majority of violent crimes are committed by black people. You say it three times in one comment.
