@no1marauder saidYou didn't understand what he said.
No 13% of the population doesn't commit 52% of the murders; there were, at most, 20,000 murders in the US in 2020, amounting to about .00006% of the population (if I used my calculator correctly).
The racist idea that blacks are inherently more violent is a major contributing factor in excessive police violence.
The 13% represents the American black population.
52% of murders are caused by blacks.
These numbers were provided by the FBI but you are smarter than them I suppose 🙄
@very-musty saidApart from murders blacks are involved in far more criminal activity except for white collar crime [hence the name].

@very-musty saidI understand exactly what he was claiming. His wording was deliberately misleading.

Meaning an individual black person has 2.5 times the chance of being killed by police as an individual white person in the US.
EOT: I know it is higher, of course. In America, the high crime districts in the cities is quite often the Afro community. Yes.
@no1marauder - said And any killings by police get major local media play as you surely know. Whether it becomes national news is usually reliant on whether there is a video, whether the officer is charged and other factors.
I disagree. Such an incident will never get national media coverage so long as BLM is not doing a protest. True story.
I listen to a talk radio show in Boston. An African American woman called the show to say that her
son was wrongfully killed by police. So she contacted BLM and told them about it. Upon seeing a picture
of the victim, BLM told his mother, "He's too white"... for them to protest.
Okay? how's that for a crooked agenda. Like I have said all along, the Marxists of BLM are pushing for a race war.
@rajk999 saidSurely you're not stupid enough to think that it's called "white collar crime" because whites do most of it?
Apart from murders blacks are involved in far more criminal activity except for white collar crime [hence the name].
It's far from clear that individual blacks commit more crime per capita than individual whites other than murder. Differential enforcement could explain much of the arrest figures; for example, the FBI concedes that whites and blacks use and sell drugs in about the same percentages yet blacks have a much greater chance of being arrested for drugs.
@no1marauder saidShow me one video where the cop wasn't charged after shooting someone that was just "being peaceful".
Absurd.
@rajk999 saidWhy do suppose that this disproportionate rate of crime by race is happening ?

It's nice of you to supply these statistics after putting in the effort to find them.
Now...... provide us with your conclusions !!
C'mon, I know you're just itching to !! I know you want to !!
Share them with us.
@earl-of-trumps saidSorry I don't believe every anecdotal claim made by callers to radio talk shows. Your claims about BLM have been repeatedly debunked here; despite you repeating such nonsense over and over again you've never been able to produce anything from a reputable BLM source supporting violence of any kind.

We've produced on this Forum several instances of national news coverage of whites being killed by police such as the Australian tourist. So your claim is patently false.
@no1marauder saidIt was a joke but Im glad you saw the unhumourous side. I provided a link check it yourself. The figures paint a very bleak picture of the life of blacks in the US. For 18% of the population to be engaged in that volume of criminal activity it must be a very hard life. I think you are valiantly putting up an argument for a losing case.

@rajk999 saidYou presented a link with arrest figures. The part of my post you ignored gave a reason why those figures might not be indicative of actual criminal activity.

So why did you present statistics on crime sorted out by race ?
If you aren't going to bring up race in your conclusion.
As a footnote ........ did you say slutty women ???? 😆
Would you like to apply that term as a possible reason beside each crime statistic that you think it applies to ??
Or better, just take a stand on what the statistics mean to you.
@no1marauder saidThat is just for drugs. Remove the entire row and drugs then and see the other figures. They tell the same story. You think more blacks are prosecuted across the board for all criminal activity because they are black? To that extent? I dont think so. Yes that might be so a a small % of the cases.

The story is the same for traffic stops, stop and frisks etc. etc. Blacks are targeted by police at a disparate rate. How much of that is overt racism and how much is the result of unconscious prejudicial stereotypes is really the only question.
