damn

The idea is that crime committed by race; by portion of the population, ie. There are more white people than black people, but by percentage of their population crime is committed more by black people

Institutional racism existed and profiling still exists

@Deleted User You’re ignoring the fact that that data is self reported and is most likely false and that blacks are still more likely to do more dangerous drugs.

https://thealternativehypothesis.org/index.php/2016/04/15/is-the-criminal-justice-system-racist/

that data isn't false

*Alternative Hypothesis*
Also I said **Marijuana** not other drugs

the drug comparison is a common fact and debating point

@Alexstrasza and your rebuttal doesn't really serve to disprove his point

his point was that despite being equally likely to do specifically weed

blacks are more arrested and suspected for doing weed

much more than white counterparts

if you want, you can literally just google "black people more likely get arrested for weed" or some shit

and you'll get like 20 other different sources

Are you still debating with the guy who thinks blacks commit more crime because of "genetics"? Or is that a different idiot

that guy just gave up on it

idk what this guy's deal is

so i'm not sure if we can call him an "idiot"

Well, if you're not sure yet, just you wait and see 🙂

only way to find out of course

heh

Btw @Deleted User I was specifically talking about @Alexstrasza

I'm not sure what you're all about yet

yeye I understand

@Deleted User @Deleted User Do you have a problem with the alternative hypothesis? He talks about Marijuana as well as other drugs in those self reported surveys.

@Dr.Cosby I believe that genes play a significant factor in the disproportionate crime rates between races. As well as environmental ones such as culture.

Yes, I understand what you "believe"

And genes accounting for crime rate differences is pretty ridiculous

Genes affect your intelligence so I’m sure that does indirectly affect crime. It’s completely logical if you think about it

The only question is exactly how influential genes are on a person’s behavior

@Alexstrasza He says drugs, which can mean any number of drugs including marijuana, heroin, lsd etc

I claimed that whites and blacks smoke specifically marijuana and just marijuana at the same rate yet blacks get arressted for smoking weed more than whites do. **not** whites and blacks do **drugs** at the same rate

had I said that instead, then yes, I would have been wrong according to AltHype

and it’s not a self report thing
they’re not going to people’s houses asking if they do weed or not

it’s about black people getting arressted for smoking weed more while whites who also smoke weed at the same rate yet get arressted less for the same offense

just be a great aryan and you’ll be fine

Genes affect your intelligence in very complex ways - and the impact of environmental factors is clearly far more substantial. By repeatedly bringing up genetics as a major factor in white vs black crime rates, you are being ignorant at best or echoing eugenicists at worst.

It is not helpful to focus on statistically small differences in trends for differences in IQ, for example - when there are clearly FAR more important factors at play.

Genetics affect how well you can play golf, but there are other more important variables to consider whether or not somebody becomes a professional golf player. Like being wealthy. Are black people genetically inferior to white people when it comes to golf? Lol

Twin studies suggest that between 40 and 80% of the variance in IQ is linked to genetics. This research suggests that genetics may play a larger role than environmental factors in determining individual IQ.

All the research I’ve read points to genes having a size-able impact

GG @Gоd, you just advanced to level 8!

Okay, show some of this research then
