Sieg heil!

In the article titled “Why Institutional Racism Is A Myth,” she cited research that clearly indicates that police do not target African Americans and debunked the widely held belief that comparing police interactions with the population at large is an effective means to evaluate law enforcement actions.


quote:

“When taking population differences into account, the argument against systemic racism holds up as well. Despite representing 13% of the population, the FBI reported that in 2017 black Americans committed 53% of homicides and 54% of robberies. Further, when looking into violence committed against police, black American men represent 33% of cop killers despite being only 6.6% of the population.

“If blacks represent such a small percentage of the population why are they responsible for a large percent of crime? In fact, the Left’s insistence on discussing race proportions is damning to their argument.”

Stating facts in 2020 is now racist behavior.

Talk about deep down the rabbit hole. This link is a swirl of sketchy right wing propaganda sites citing other sketchy right wing propaganda sites, all allegedly produced out of D.C. No names or addresses on anything. It's like reading graffiti.

She uses actual research and statistics to back up her claims?! How dare she?!

She also likely lands a job at some place like The Daily Wire because of this.

Throwing up stats without context is just a disingenuous.

Do they commit more crime because of their race or because of more forced interactions with police. If stop and frisk was widely used on my white friends there would be a lot in jail right now for possession/running from the cops. Instead they went to college and no one bothered them.

Are they more impoverished, why are they more impoverished etc.

Regardless the real question is are black people treated and handled differently in interactions with police officers than white people. I honestly think they are because i don't think the thousands of black people who say they are, are lying to us just to do it. Regardless of stats, regardless of who does what based on color. Everyone in this country has a right to be treated like every other person. Every person in this country deserves not to have their rights trampled on because some other people that share a skin tone with them did some bad shite in the same neighborhood.

Exactly. You can't just put out statistics and not tell people what to think about them. People might draw their own conclusions. And they might not make the right conclusions. Too dangerous. Can't have writers doing stuff like that.

Right so you think we should treat people differently because they share a skin tone with other people that commit crimes more frequently? Because that is what is happening. That is what a lot of people are using to justify this behavior.

Just another front on The War On Noticing Things.

Which, I fear, will end in real war.

Literally nothing in my post suggests that. Did you get a permit to erect a strawman that large?
