Crime Statistics by Race

This statistic has been around for at least a decade. It seems to be based on just absolute numbers rather than looking at income levels or place of residence.

Very true. Other variables exist.

It is a bit dated though. It's from 2000

Despite only making up less than 13% of the population, blacks are the most frequent homicide offenders.

Now, where's that guy who used to say that whites were genetically predisposed to racism?

When it comes down to it race can not really be completely determined... for instance, I had a professor who, from just looking at him was a black guy. However, he showed us a genetic profile of his that he had done that went back 400 years, and he had more Caucasian than African American in him, so what is he? Is he a white guy with dark skin or a black guy with mostly Caucasian genes?

No, it's cause I'm work, working till midnight, on the weekend before Christmas. Can you guess how many of my users are working at this time? 🙂

But, nice try to attack my character instead of actually addressing the point. You do know that that was another strawman attempt, don't you? (It was also an ad hominem fallacy, as well.)

So, you go from saying it's true, to saying it came from a credible source, to saying it was from the government finding, to saying that it might be incorrect, but not necessarily racist.

Now, don't worry about thinking that I have a personal vendetta against you. I don't. I am only addressing your incorrect comment that points to ignorant racism. The lesson you should take from this is verifying your findings before you spew ignorant racism. (Instead of trying to argue for pages.)

Check this out: One time, my coworker told me that our cell phone numbers would be given out to advertisers and that we had to sign up for a "do not call list" to avoid it. It was a hoax, I was wrong. Robtard proved it with a snopes article. Instead of arguing and justyfying my post on multiple pages (like you're trying to do now), I moved on. It's okay to be wrong about a fact. There's not reason to drag things on. There's also no reason to try to make personal attacks against the person who pointed out the wrongness in your post. In fact, my original post was intended more as humor with the smartass "the more you know" images. You took it way too seriously. lol

it bothers me that at 26 you dont know the difference between insults and facts. and then calling someone ignorant racist. those are strong words thats why i took it serious when i was just trying to make a point.

yes it is ok for people to be wrong about facts. no one is perfect. maybe im wrong your right maybe im right and your wrong.

This isn't about me being right it wrong. You made an false statement. I mentioned a study that made your statement false. (mutiple studies, as inimalist (a real research psychologist), pointed out). That's it.

That doesn't make what you posted NOT ignorant racism, though. You pretended a study existed for it to not sound racist. That's not really cool, is it?

Your statement was ignorant racism. You can chose to be insulted by that. But it's not an insult.

If I make an ignorant racist post, even if unknowingly, I fully expect someone to call that statement for what it is: ignorant racism. Once I'm educated, I will not longer make that same ignorant racist statement ever again.

I can't believe you're still trying to make personal attacks. Just post, "I heard my pa say it, so I thought it was true. My bad." Then we can move on.

Depends on the environment/setting.

If he has a "black" sounding name, he's black to most people looking at his job application.

If he gets angry in a department store, he's an angry black man.

If police are called to his house (never mind that he owns the house), he's black on the evening news.

If he makes an important finding or establishes an appealing foundation, he's Professor Such and Such.

If he writes a book that isn't about race, it's written by Prof. such and such. If it relates to race, even a little, it's a book written by Black Prof. Such and Such.

If he has a drug problem, it's "that black guy" on drugs.

I hope no one says racism is almost dead in America. It's not. Far from it.

[/B][/QUOTE] the only way it can be racism as if its racist towards the white race since i posted blacks can get job opportunities easier than whites. your problem is you want it to be racist

[/B][/QUOTE] a statement on facts thats happening in the world does not make one a racist. your just one of those that just hears the word black and BAM that person is now considered a racist.

[/B][/QUOTE] theres like 2 or 3 posts already ive seen on this thread from others since we started this arguement. scroll back you will see that hey are attacks.

I can't believe you're still trying to make personal attacks. Just post, "I heard my pa say it, so I thought it was true. My bad." Then we can move on. [/B][/QUOTE] me make personal attacks ? calling someone ignorant racist on facts is a peronal attack. and reason i believe this is because i have heard it from more than one person. i have even heard it from managers before at diferent retailers. and judging by the high volume of black females i have seen behind registers i believe it.

Ugh. That's a mess. (I just pasted your quote tage repeatedly to separate your post from mine. lulz. It was still too messy.)

I don't feel like reading your posts anymore. Contribute to the topic. If you want to use a study to justify a racist remark, cite it. (Make sure it's credible and peer reviewed.)

Quote one of my multi-quote posts. It will show you how I'm doing it. (I just copy and paste tags. Takes only about 30 seconds more to do...but makes it look purty.
