Why specifically blacks

2018-07-19 17:43:56 UTC  

that's like saying "YOU MAN EVERYONE'S GOT PROBLEMS" to someone who's saying "My home was burned down with all my belongings"

2018-07-19 17:44:49 UTC  

But who gives a shit if they're black or not

2018-07-19 17:45:10 UTC  

I don't think they are getting any major prejudice

2018-07-19 17:45:11 UTC  

The police that shoot them more often

2018-07-19 17:45:20 UTC  

the people that don't hire them based off of race

2018-07-19 17:45:46 UTC  

First of black people take up 15% of the population in the US

2018-07-19 17:45:52 UTC  

and over 50% of the crime rate

2018-07-19 17:45:57 UTC  

no

2018-07-19 17:46:01 UTC  

Yes

2018-07-19 17:46:08 UTC  

around 1/4 of all crimes in the US are by black people

2018-07-19 17:46:45 UTC  

You do realize thats still double their proportion right

2018-07-19 17:47:00 UTC  

yes

2018-07-19 17:47:02 UTC  

I realize that

2018-07-19 17:47:06 UTC  

Black America has a lot of issues that do need to be adressed but it aint cops or them whites.

2018-07-19 17:47:21 UTC  

but 50% is not true though

2018-07-19 17:47:40 UTC  

Hm, could've sworn I got it somewhere

2018-07-19 17:47:43 UTC  

@Crasseus we should talk in voice

2018-07-19 17:47:44 UTC  

The 50% figure comes from violent crime statistics

2018-07-19 17:47:45 UTC  

I'll have to recheck it

2018-07-19 17:47:57 UTC  

If you look at all crimes then its closer to a quarter

2018-07-19 17:48:22 UTC  

I'm looking at a graph right now though

2018-07-19 17:48:30 UTC  

and it said "violence"

2018-07-19 17:48:40 UTC  

Post it

2018-07-19 17:48:42 UTC  

Whats the website

2018-07-19 17:48:43 UTC  

I'm in the debate voice chat

2018-07-19 17:48:55 UTC  

I'm on my phone

2018-07-19 17:49:24 UTC  

@Crasseus you wanna hop in voice chat

2018-07-19 17:51:31 UTC  

I can see how it could be over 50% if you cherry pick stats

2018-07-19 17:52:05 UTC  

408,873 241,063 153,341 7,378 5,755 1,336

2018-07-19 17:52:13 UTC  

the 153 number is blacks

2018-07-19 17:52:41 UTC  

I would but working

2018-07-19 17:52:56 UTC  

153,341/408,873 = 0.375

2018-07-19 17:53:13 UTC  

so about 37.5% of violent crime is commit by blacks according to the fbi crime tables

2018-07-19 17:53:26 UTC  

still a long shot from 50%

2018-07-19 17:53:31 UTC  

disproportionate

2018-07-19 17:53:32 UTC  

yes

2018-07-19 17:53:40 UTC  

not 50%

2018-07-19 17:53:49 UTC  

okay we can talk about this later
