It’s a shittily worded question designed to put people into a corner so you can strawman their arguments and make yourself feel better.


Does the fact that the majority of the population of Afghanistan is not part of the Taliban mean that there isn’t a very large problem with the Taliban in that country? You’re trying to frame to score points and it’s not going to work.

You would have to include prison violence for the numbers to be accurate

If there’s a lot of alcohol and a lot of people it’s a no go zone for me.

Alcohol is the one thing yall forget in most instances.

It's a very clearly worded question that requires you to think about monolithing a demographic rather than repeat a "13%" shibboleth.

What percentage of young black males are violent?

So lucky to have grown up in the 80s. When animals didn’t roam the streets. Feel bad for my kids and future generations as it will only get worse.


I understand the sentiment as a child of the eighties myself. However, a childhood in the 80s lead to teenage and young adult years in the early-mid 90s. These kids now are rookies compared to the demons of that era. Live ball vs dead ball difference.
All to say, it can be turned around with imprisonment like the 90s. Issue is the lawmakers are more and more to the left and not likely to ever go that far again unless it's when they're putting us all into chains. For that reason I agree with you that it will only get worse. Chaos creates conformity.

No it’s a shittily worded question and you know it. It’s full of vagueness so that you can draw someone into a false premise. No one is going to play your game. You can keep trying though if you’d like.

Point to the vagueness in the question:

LINK to the kadn, podnuh

This same useless thug was charged in November of last year.

Read the story and see what a fine citizen he is and how it would be impossible to foresee his involvement in future bad acts.

He’s not asking for clarity.
He’s trying to minimize the significance of the data by zooming out.

There is no credible statistic that says “X% of young Black males are violent.” At the same time: young black males are disproportionately represented in violent crime stats, especially homicide rates.

Seriously? Okay sure, how do you define violent? Do you consider only criminal violence to be violence? What about school violence? Is it lifetime likelihood to be violent or just how many are violent is some way in a given year? There’s plenty of vagueness there. Klark is correct though. You’re trying to zoom out to make a point that I didn’t contend with. Never said majority of YBM’s are violent.

For giggles, I decided to google it.

The result was interesting, "One study of young Black men (ages 15–25) identified a high-risk group of 12.9% as "high victim-perpetrators" (reporting weekly fighting/carrying weapons)."

That blurb only parcels out WEEKLY violent perpetrators.

Even that though, is roughly that ever present 13%.

Let's analyze that.

A group of say 20 young black males milling about in a setting, 13% are likely to love fighting and or carrying weapons on the regular. That's at least 2 of them.

Black American men are exponentially more violent than any other demographic. It’s undeniable.

Here is the question: What percentage of young black males are violent?

Here is your prior statement:
quote:

Brother it is a statistical fact that young black males are a violent demographic
So you appear to understand the meaning of "young black males," "are," and "violent."

Which is the word that is vague to you: "what" or "percentage"?
