Also it looks like the Bloc is going to be able to throw a lot of weight around

*"Degenerate..."*

is there truth to this?

oh apparently there is https://twitter.com/Nick_732/status/1186688646474285057?s=20

Yep\

Even according to the SPLC there were only 5000 Lynchings between 1880 and today.

Thats like asking the Klan for accurate black crime statistics.

ten of eleven Southern legislatures ratified new constitutions and amendments to effectively disenfranchise most African Americans and many poor whites through devices such as poll taxes, property and residency requirements, and literacy tests.

Imagine the hurdle to voting being that you had to own property and be a resident. Truly an age of out of control racism.

Well, I’d like to see those numbers per capita. There are several times more people, so it makes sense that the number of murders would be greater.

Sure

Gun violence

Map of civilian guns per capita by country to the "Small Arms Survey 2007"[58]
The United States has the highest rate of civilian gun ownership per capita.[58][59][60] According to the CDC, between 1999 and 2014 there have been 185,718 homicides from use of a firearm and 291,571 suicides using a firearm.[61] Despite a significant increase in the sales of firearms since 1994, the US has seen a drop in the annual rate of homicides using a firearm from 7.0 per 100,000 population in 1993 to 3.6 per 100,000.[62] In the ten years between 2000 and 2009, the ATF reported 37,372,713 clearances for purchase, however, in the four years between 2010 and 2013, the ATF reported 31,421,528 clearances.[63

So about 12k per year

Homicides just from guns.

13% - 50% or 6k just from guns.

wow, women make up 10% arrests for Homicide, which is higher then I honestly thought it would be.

"In 2011, law enforcement reported 6,222 bias-motivated incidents, known as hate crimes, for which 5,731 offenders were identified.[32] Of these, 59% were white, 20.9% were black, 7.1% were of various races, 1.4% were Asian or Pacific Islanders, 0.8% were Native American, and 10.8% were of unknown race.[32]"

13% still over represented in Hate Crimes lol.

@Salacious Swanky Cat having trouble finding total Homicides per year, except gun violence makes up 65% of them.

I’m talking about the lynchings versus blacks murdering whites claim.

I understand that guns aren’t really a problem.

It feels like the 8 year argument is really low. I would have guessed it was closer to 1 or 2 years.

If the number is 5k

But I gotta be honest and use numbers, and according to that he's right.

@Salacious Swanky Cat I hope I didn't numbers dump too hard, I find this stuff fascinating.

its all bueno to me bro

I don't mind the media talking about this stuff, but as a Southerner who has dealt with this all his life, the gap between the actual facts and what is pushed as the narrative has had a direct impact on me.

it really is. at this point i see ppl parrot more than actually thinking, regarding this topic.

ive got a ground level view of them as well.

Also, I'd like to note how Wikipedia says the reason people surged to Chicago, Detroit, and Philadelphia from the south in the 1900s was "Racism"

Like "Really". Not the jobs. Not Reconstruction.

Racism.

(x)

Wiki even says the reason whites also surged west was White Flight.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynching

thats just dishonest. and white flight aint about purely racism, its crime as well.

thats like saying the reason blacks moved to LA is because racism

When whites leave an area its because of racism. and when whites move back in and fix up an area...
