White Privilege

Cool.

I appreciate your candor. As John Adams said, ā€œFacts are stubborn things.ā€ and you laid some bare naked facts down, guaranteed to upset the politically correct apple cart. You will be called a racist…

I don’t know what country you’ve been living in, but if you think that people don’t already know what the stats are for violent crime and race, you would be wrong.

Why would anyone call him a racist for stating things that are easily found at places like the FBI website?

I am quite certain most people don’t know the stats. And yes, people are called racists all the time for merely stating a fact. I don’t know what country you’re living in.

Of course, because the 10 million shootings a weekend in Chicago are not national news.

Let’s see, the people who live in the suburbs know the inner cities aren’t safe. The people who live in the country know the inner cities are not safe. And the people who live in the inner cities know they aren’t safe. Who is left?

And there go the goalposts.

True. And some are (accurately) called racists when they are alt-Right worms who refer to people as ā€œcucksā€.

EDIT: sorry, more accurately ā€œself hating white cucks and low iq black racists.ā€

It would be nice if people would read the whole report.

It reminds me of the people who get up-in-arms about the ā€œalarmingā€ increase in interracial marriage.

Guess what? The majority of Black people marry Black people…and White people marry White people…and according to the report posted:

ā€œā€¦The vast majority of homicide victims are killed by people of their own race. People tend to kill who they knowā€¦ā€

And 56% are killed by who…Klingons?

(…My apologies, @Sloth…it looks like you DID read the whole report…)

Related to the original post…

The concept of ā€œWhite Privilegeā€ needs to go away.

It’s one of those topics that steers people away from having more important discussions about race.

Car accidents.

Also, the concept of privilege is moving away from race to economics.

@zecarlo:

I just want to make sure that I have this statistic right…and even though I cannot find it, does NOT mean that it doesn’t exist.

So 44%…44%…of Police Officers killed in the Line of Duty are killed by Black People?

Is that correct?

Aye, heh. That’s what I was trying to point out, the intra-racial nature of violence.

Given blacks make up 13ish% of the population, the relative ratio would be what’s troubling.

I’m not sure it’s troubling, but it’s definitely interesting.

I would guess most police-related deaths occur in urban areas where the population of black people is denser than in other environments. Crime is obviously higher in these areas. Poverty is higher, generally, too.

None of that is to say it’s because more black people live there. I look at it like this: If there were no black people in America (or in Urban environments) would ______ (crime for example) go down? I think the answer is no because other racial groups; including, white people would fill the socioeconomic void. Meaning, they would be the drug dealers, they would be the poorest of the poor, they would be at the very bottom of the societal food chain and that is where the majority of the violence seems to occur (as far as I can tell).

Yeah, that’s a tough one. And it’s for murder. Does the trend hold the same from assault/battery on a police officer?

I mean, in absolute numbers whites still kill more police officers. Still, does knowing the relative ratios, or getting a sort of real world street feel of this reality, help to put police at a higher level of readiness with black suspects?

It complicates things because it seems clear that change can’t only come from the police.

The problem with that statement is that officers are killed in the line of duty because they are murdered, because they shot themselves, they crashed their cars, etc.

Here is a link to the FBI stats on cop killers and race. FBI — Table 47

Why would anybody care about interracial marriage anyway? You want to get a good strong set up genes, you mix them up as much as possible from as many pools as possible…
It’s not like they’re queers! (Kidding!)
