When the poorest whites end up commiting less crime than the richest blacks race does seem to be a pretty blatant factor

Again I'm not saying its the only factor in the way a person or group behaves but it is still real none the less.

that's actually not true (I'll look for the proof give me a minute) blacks get CAUGHT for crimes more often, but they COMMIT them the same as whites when u control for other variables

If that's true than it means they're less capable of evading notice when doing something wrong, not that the cops are out to get all of them.

@mater06 its done.

But then you've categorized 'a persons ability to be sneaky' as dependent on something rather than their own individual ability and choices

It's a tendency not an absolute conclusion on a case by case basis.

If more blacks get caught commiting crimes than whites its pretty obvious they TEND to be less capable of avoiding getting caught.

I would say they just commit more crimes but whatever.

if race has a causal effect on a person's proclivity to commit crimes rather than a coincidental correlation caused by and reinforced by material circumstances, then people are not free- there is some inherent part of a person which is subject to factors (their race) outside of their control

yeah sadly that's just reality

ok but u said earlier you thought people were free

not that people can't make different choices but that there are influences on them and their way of thinking

their material circumstances are what are those influence tho

not some arbitrary shit about their color or ancestry

no

ya

; )

when poor white commit LESS crime on par with RICH blacks obviously material circumstance is not solely to blame.

well racism is a part of a persons material experience

culture is a part of a persons material experience

There's a reason Bulgaria is not as violent as Sierra Leone ya know

there's many reasons.

not just race

to say its caused by race is to oversimplify

you're making things easy

if i was to analyze crime rates in bulgaria and sierra leone i could write a thesis

Rascism wouldn't be a problem if different races weren't regularly forced to interact

ugh

but they are

they aren't forced to

self-segregation is the biggest form of racism

why am i even discussing this shit lmao

im supposed to be memeing

"What is integration and diversity?"

self-segregation is self-determination

MOST people would rather be with people who are like them racially than vice versa.

its internalized essentializing (racism)

Its human nature

hahahaha

Just say that.
