re: NYT article on increased homicides

The entire society engages in intentional obtuseness

We look at major cultural/societal problems and then immediately put the biggest contributing items to the side, then we spend millions and countless hours talking and debating about what it could possibly be

It's staggering. Take one tiny sliver of the crime surge, the black-on-asian hate crime phenomenon. How many thousands of media hours have been spent talking about Asian hate without acknowledging that like 98% of the crimes are black on Asian?

Imagine what we could do with the time/money/energy we spend trying not to see things that are happening.
