In this thread, we post statistical facts

I looked up realtor.com the day they started talking about defund the PD and all the houses I clicked on were listed in the last 2 days

Black males make up 6.5% of the US population and commit 50% of the crimes.

Some jackass will buy it all and turn it into GSRI or Tigerland.

We hear about the Black/White wealth gap all the time, but the factors that lead to it are never mentioned. Here's a little insight to why this happens;

Researchers at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis followed over 40,000 families from 1989 to 2013, tracking their wealth accumulation and financial decisions. They developed a financial health scale, ranging from 0 to 5, that measured the degree to which families made “routine financial health choices that contribute to wealth accumulation”—e.g., saving any amount of money, paying credit card bills on time, having a low debt-to-income ratio, etc. At 3.12, Asian families scored the highest, followed by whites at 3.11, Hispanics at 2.71, and blacks at 2.63.

Next, they asked if education accounted for the differences in financial habits by limiting the comparison to middle-aged families with advanced degrees. Surprisingly, they found that the racial gap in financial health-scores didn’t shrink; it widened. Highly-educated Asian families scored 3.49, comparable whites scored 3.38, comparable Hispanics scored 2.94, and comparable blacks remained far behind at 2.66. Thus, the study authors concluded, neither “periodic shortages of time or money” nor “lower educational attainment” were the driving forces behind the differences in financial decision-making.

"On the racial wealth gap and similar issues, we seem to have reached a political stalemate. The Left, which has the power to start an intelligent conversation about culture, refuses to admit that culture accounts for many of the racial gaps typically ascribed to systemic racism. The Right, which acknowledges the role of culture, is too far from the media channels through which blacks tend to communicate, to have any chance of starting a robust conversation about culture in the black community. On one side we have ignorance, and on the other, impotence. And stuck in the middle we have the next generation of black Americans, who will grow up far more likely than their non-black peers to hold values inimical to wealth-building because the previous generation could not figure out how to speak honestly about black American culture."

18.6% of all real estate listings in Minneapolis have popped up in the last seven days.

I keep seeing this but I haven't see anything to compare it to to know what it means.

For one thing, the actual figure is about 14.5% if you follow the instructions provided by the person who tweeted the figure. And other cities of similar size have similar ratios of last 7 days vs. all listings. For example:

Arlington, TX 17.7%
Fresno, CA 13.7%
Salt Lake City 16.5%


The 14.5% in Minneapolis is nothing out of the ordinary.

I don't know, I do not have a time machine. Do you? The number is being thrown around as if it is outrageous, though, which it clearly is not. Several cities have higher figures.
