More red-pilling material you can use the next time someone offers up fairy tales about roving bands of white supremacists murdering and terrorizing black folks.
FBI UCR numbers. Hypothesis: the more lopsided that crime becomes based upon race, the more ridiculous the conspiracy theories about law enforcement will become and the more contorted the Left will twist itself to blame anyone other than the folks perpetrating these obsence and wildly disproportionate levels of violence and mayhem. Memo: poverty has zero, zip, zilch, nada causal connection to homicide. None. To use a phrase from a local sophist, it is also not a necessary variable that must be present.
When will we ever a real conversation about race and the criminal justice system? Will we ever be able to have a real conversation about race and the criminal justice system?

I'm talking about people who are actually concerned and interested in data-driven discussions.
Before ND_In_Atlanta left, he asked me why I changed, because we used to be in agreement on many of these things. Well, I looked at the actual numbers, and then also started watching many, many body cam videos, along with reading about many cases. I changed my mind based upon evidence. There are others out there interested in the same sort of journey. Discussing this issue should not inspire fear in people, which is what currently happens. As I mentioned, about the only folks who can discuss this in public are, first, left-leaning black intellectuals, and, to a lesser extent, Thomsa Sowell and Shelby Steele types who will be labeled "Uncle Toms," and ensure that they are always at the fringes of the preferred intellectual sphere.
If you comment on the wrong set of data these days, you can actually lose your job. It's a dangerous business, discussing truth.
Many of them have no jobs to lose. Many of them have no social media accounts to be barraged. Many of them have no churches from which to be excommunicated. Whitlock was particularly insightful a few weeks back when he commented that, at its root, the madness enveloping us right now is attributable to men not stepping up and demonstrating some stones. If men are going to stand around and allow bald-faced lies to dictate public and private policies, and to limit free expression, more is the pity and we are headed for deep civilizational degeneration. At worst, most of these men would face what Chris attempts to do to me: call names. Big deal. As you may have noticed, after awhile, they just give up.
Also, you don’t understand how probability works.

Those sure some wildly disproprtionate numbers, aren't they? Then again, I'd imagine that if whites were 11 times more likely to commit murder, you would assume the same position, honest chap that you are.
In summary: violent crime and homicide are enormous problems within urban black communities. They are big problems among Hispanics. They are a very small problem among whites in urban communities (virtually every shooting in NYC is perpetrated by a black or Hispanic perp. Yes, there is data on this.) They barely chart among Asian-Americans. How do you explain this? How is it not a significant problem among poor Asians and whites? Did you know that as of a couple years ago, the violent crime rate in Appalachia was 2/3 of the national violent crime rate? What is going on culturally in black communities, and, to a somewhat lesser extent, in Hispanic communities, that explains these wildly disproportionate numbers?

It’s almost like what we would expect to see, once we realize the percentages of such folk in society. And if we understood math.

group than there is between groups." Well, duh. Of course there is. I can't imagine anyone would dispute that. This is the means by which Charles Murray or Sam Harris attempt to stay in good graces and avoid dealing with the implications in the mean and median IQ differences among racial groups. Curiously, it is left-leaning intellectuals like Glenn Loury and John McWhorter who only dare to broach the subject and its potential implications.
We have an FBI director, a dominant media, and an institutionalized unintelligentsia perpetuating the idea that in terms of racial groups, it is whites who are mostly the victimizers and blacks who are mostly the victims. That is demonstrably false, ironically, by the FBI's own numbers.
Or, maybe your racism prevents you from understanding math.
But please, share with me the major news outlets that report on the numbers I referenced.
You'll note, but will not acknowledge, that plausible arguments attributing these vast disparities to culture (hint: not genetic/biological reasons), account for most of this disparity.
Would we expect much higher rates by the minority, champ?
(Hint: Yes we would)
Again, you are a sophist. Whether it's Beau Biden's removal from the service, or female genital mutilation rates, or this, you will play games to avoid dealing with uncomfortable data or facts. It's what you do and, fortunately, more and more folks here have caught onto that.

Truth
Instead of dealing with the well-documented, data-based reality of the situation, you resort to an ad hominem, as a substitute for actual thought and analysis.
How do you explain these wildly disproportionate numbers? Massive conspiracy? Slavery? Poverty? I'm throwing you a bone, here. Anything whatsoever to add?
