"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...

Also Racism.

naw, they moved for opportunity

when whites do....
racism

rraaaaaaaaacism.

"A 2017 study found that exposure to lynchings in the post-Reconstruction South "reduced local black voter turnout by roughly 2.5 percentage points."[56] "

Rampant murder that must be talked about constantly forever was so horrific...

2.5%

well it didnt change turn out, but it changed party preference.

convinced all those blacks to vote dem

there was a massacre where they killed 160 or so blacks AND white republicans

Well didn't you know. The Parties switched. Thats why Dems no longer talk about racism constantly and use it as justification for literally anything.

LOL i love that claim. oh FDR he was our guy, also the parties switched.

its like pick one bro..

You know I looked up the Nixon Racist Angle once.

you cant claim abraham lincoln and fdr

To see if there was actually some kind of campaign.

The best I got was there were a couple kinda spicy adds?

yea i looked too, its like yes the southern strategy was a thing, but that doesnt mean the parties flipped. the platforms havent changed, and southern states didnt vote repub for another 20 years after it
