The FBI lumps Latinos in with Whites, so the percentage of Whites who commit interracial crime is even smaller than 10%.

Yeah, so comparing this graph to Table 14 in the 2018 BJS and the SPLC article I posted yesterday, it’s clear there’s some funny math being done to create the new graph. Creating a category of “interracial crime” and then creating new percentages is something I’m going to need to think more about. The original BJS made very clear: of all the crime against white people, 15% of it is perpetrated by a Black offender. The math you needed to do to flip that around and get a 90% number—and I know how they got the number—feels disingenuous. But I gotta think some more.

I do appreciate the link to the red elephant site, which linked me to the BJS site.

Some of the other hate crime statistics presented...I gotta do some digging there too. If there was manipulation to get a 90% number, I need to make sure there aren’t more games going on.

I guess I’ll not dwell on the fact that white people might get away with crime at higher rates, particularly if it’s against a person of color. Or that what we count as crime typically only focuses on things poor people do, not rich people in ways that have disproportionate racial victims (e.g., environmental looting and toxicity, wage theft).

At the end of the day, that these statistics can get weaponized as propaganda is what still bothers me. But I’ve already said that enough. For now.

Thanks again for responding. And I mean that genuinely. So much more productive/helpful than any bull shite MadKing was posting.

I hear this from your side all the time. The fact that the majority of White deaths are by other Whites is important, ok, fine. But why don't Blacks extend the same logic to deaths in their community? The percentage of Blacks killed by Whites is so small, it is almost statistically non existent. Yet it is all the media focuses on. See the inconsistency on your side? If you would stop with the anti White narrative, folks like me would stop pointing out the stats which are pretty embarrassing for the Black community.

Also, in parts of the nation with high Black populations, the percentage of Whites killed by Blacks goes way up. That has major cultural consequences that can't be ignored. Whites in certain areas have real reasons to fear some Blacks.
