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

2018-07-19 17:53:57 UTC  

peace

2018-07-19 17:54:29 UTC  

Hm I'll have to look more into it

2018-07-19 17:55:54 UTC  

but this still hasn't even begun to be a fair comparison because obvi white who live in small towns aren't gonna commit lots of violent crimes

2018-07-19 17:56:18 UTC  

Big fan of the one area where everything is in near perfect proportion is alcohol related crimes. Truly alcohol is the greatest equalizer

2018-07-19 17:56:37 UTC  

Although if you limit it to just pure murder then the black is 50%

2018-07-19 17:56:41 UTC  

if you are the very least control for where people live, it will even out much mroe

2018-07-19 17:56:44 UTC  

Total crime i guess it is lower

2018-07-19 17:56:44 UTC  

sure

2018-07-19 17:56:57 UTC  

total crime is 1/4

2018-07-19 17:57:04 UTC  

violent crime is 1/3

2018-07-19 17:57:15 UTC  

murder is 1/2

2018-07-19 17:58:16 UTC  

Still very big numbers for such a low pop, also about the hiring people due to their race

2018-07-19 17:58:30 UTC  

I've actually only seen it happen in reverse

2018-07-19 17:58:45 UTC  

yeah, but I don't care much about anecdotes

2018-07-19 17:59:17 UTC  

I do have to go, was fun

2018-07-19 17:59:23 UTC  

But how do you even determine if it's racial prejudice
