I hate charts like this so we just going to ignore the firearm deaths caused by Russia and Ukraine?
Charts like this perpetuate this narrative that blacks are violent and whites are not which isn’t true in the least bit. All races commit violence and commit murders.
What about sex? Would you say men and women commit acts of physical violence at equal rates?
reply
Of course not
But some people will deny gender so it’s easier to deny reality
Black women have the highest rates of incarceration and it’s not because juries are racist
reply
Yeah probably by per capita. But blacks only take up like 13% of the USA population. In sheer numbers I almost certain more white women are in prison than black.
reply
Equal? Nah my point is not about what’s equal and what’s not. Gun violence is an issue that plagues black communities for decades. What I push back on is that other races are not as violent when we have countless examples of whites, Asians, Latinos doing really violent stuff like the drug cartels in Mexico.
reply
Well, at least you aren’t in denial about male/female differences. Consider yourself blessed to be as distant as you are from actual violence.
reply
Of course not! I know the difference between women and men and men are way more aggressive by nature.

Warning: disturbing video

Very disturbing. He’s going to jail like he should. Not sure what context this has on our discussion but okay
reply
You’re being deliberately naive
reply
Nah I truly don’t understand what you are showing me. Am i supposed to think blacks are violent because you show a video of a black teen beating up a white teacher? What point are you trying to make. All I said was charts like the one you posted are fodder to say blacks are violent and other races aren’t and I just said it’s not true. Then you post a random video of violence like it’s supposed to prove something
reply
Yes!
You don’t see this level of violence with other races
The chart says more violent
Emphasis on more
You are claiming everyone is equal which is empirically wrong
reply
That’s false. Ukraine and Russia are at war. We don’t see the gruesome violence that’s going on there.
Plus whites do violent things all the time must I enter mass shootings of innocent school children into this dialogue? Don’t see blacks doing that.
The dude who allegedly shot at Trump was white.

1994 civil war in Rwanda
Maybe we shouldn't count that since it was machetes not firearms
reply
Exactly violence isn’t. Racial thing it’s part of the human condition. Just like Mao Zedong wiping out millions of Chinese
There is no narrative to perpetuate

Fox News would like a word with you

Already resorting to ad hominem attacks
Your clip is empty

Charts don't create narratives, people create narratives
edit: trolling me or the chart won't magically change the reality of race and homicides.
I hate how the 100 meter sprint perpetuates the narrative that blacks are faster than whites.
reply
Well charts are created by people and people don’t have 100% of the data/information to make proper analyses.
As far as the 100 meter sprint comment. Well we have the Olympics to determine the best athletes plus performance you can make general stereotypes when it comes to athletics. Either you do the task or your don’t. Sure you can try to link race to performance output but that undermines the athlete’s achievement like the white woman who smoked the black women in the 800m
Killing and violence which is a viewed as negative in most societies is different.
reply
800 meter is not a sprint
reply
It’s a race
reply
so is a marathon which is not a sprint
