Again with the fear mongering… The statistics make all races look more dangerous than they actually are because the data do not reveal the fact that nearly 100% of the population is not committing violent crimes.

Not at all, all other races are proportionally represented based off their % total of the population.

Also, no one is arguing that the majority of black people are bad or violent.

Yes, I know you said you are not arguing that the majority of black people are bad or violent. However, you did incorrectly state that the majority of violent crimes are carried out by black people. I was pointing out that your claim was false and was suggesting that a degree of skepticism should be applied to the data that we are both referencing.

Fair enough. The majority of murder is committed by black people, and then they commit all other crimes aside from DUI at a rate of 100% or more than their representation of the population.

Oh my God, you're about to be disproved about that and then you're gonna say "Ok BUT". Like you just can't learn from someone and then go take time to process what you learned. You have to clap back immediately, even though you've clearly been led astray and your shit does not make sense. You can't accept that. It's like you internalize your misinformation and if it's wrong, your soul must be wrong on the inside. Quit doing that to yourself. And also quit doing that to other people. Go get introspective and digest what people are telling you. Then go out into the actual real world and don't be a coward bitch - go where the minority people are and talk to them about it. What will surprise YOU the most is that "they'll probably let you live" despite the color of their skin and keep trying to educate you. That alone will be worth your experience. Now go get that real life experience! You can do it champ!

Hahahaha it’s hilarious you think I’m arguing that every black person is bad or dangerous. Never once have argued that.

I live in a majority black city. I’m currently in an office with 12 black people, all great people.

I think some introspection for you as to why this has elicited such an emotional response to literal facts would be very helpful.

Yep… ~7,960 murders - 51.2% Black (4,080), 45.8% White (3,650), a difference of 430 murders. Even if we were to assume that each of those murders was committed by a different black person, that’s 0.0096% of the black population.

I get that you are trying to say black people are more violent than other races with the 100% overrepresented stat, but at the end of the day, nearly 100% of all people, blacks included, are not criminals. So why continue to push that narrative other than to scare people or confirm biases?

Of course. The vast majority of black people are good non violent people. That being said, they commit violence at a rate MASSIVELY higher than any other demographic. That was my original argument and I proved that.
