I don’t follow your disagreement with the standard normalization.
It's not a standard normalization. Let me try again to explain why.

If all violent crime were included, *then* we could normalize by population. But since only the interracial portion of crime is produced, it is already normalized in a way. That is what my population of 100 example was intended to explain. I guess people didn't follow.

The problem is this: to determine whether something is "more likely" than something else, we have to ask more likely than what? Well, the obvious baseline is random chance. And given that white people make up much more of the population than blacks, random chance says more white people will be victims of random violence. Approximately 5X more likely, actually. So if something happens to white people 9X more than something else, we would divide that by 5, not multiply. Or, if you prefer, we multiply by the inverse. In other words, it happens 9/5 = 2.2 times more often than it would randomly. Not 45 times more often.

That is, of course, fraught with its own (incorrect) assumptions.

What’s most hilarious about your post is I think you probably have fooled yourself in to thinking this is what you’re really doing.
Not nearly as hilarious as your complete failure to recognize truth from lies.

I don't disagree, just trying to understand your angle.

That blacks and whites come in contact with each other regularly and are not segregated.

The effects of that fact are probably impossible to quantify, but they are reflected in the fact that people of all races are more likely to commit crimes against their own race than against other races.

Another layer that would be interesting -

Percentage of blacks killed by cop where the cop was white

Percentage of blacks killed by cop where the cop was black/other minority

Percentage of whites killed by cop where the cop was black/other minority

Percentage of whites killed by cop where the cop was white

So korkstand, if a statistician wants to measure if whites are more likely to kill blacks than blacks are to kill whites, or vice versa, how should he/she go about doing it?
First we need all the data rather than just the interracial subset. With that data, we can figure how likely each race is to commit a crime, and also whether those crimes are disproportionately distributed to inter- or intra-.

Make the case that police brutality targets blacks disproportionately to other races .

Make the case that blacks are targeted for violence more by other races.

Make the case that blacks are victims of systematic oppression.

State the case and make the case that BLM seems to struggl to make - and please use stats in anyway you like.

Use numbers and hard data.
No feelings.
Nothing anecdotal.
Make the case as if you only had a calculator to assist you.

Lol, it seems you are the one with that problem. Sorry the data doesn’t fit the narrative you want it to.

Objection your Honor, the data is damaging to my case.

No it doesn't. I'm just explaining that 45X is an outright lie. It is meaningless.

Here is the average annual violent crime stats for the years 2012-15. Page 2 has the average annual number of victims by race, and the percentage of those crimes based on the race of the offender.


If you can pull anything out of that which resembles 45 times something else, you are magical or deceitful.

I am not nor have I tried to make a case for any of that. I'm just telling you that the numbers posted by OP are manipulated.

The rest of the data says that a random white person is about twice as likely to be attacked by another white person than by a black person.


And what is your takeaway from this?

The math works out the same whether 100%, 10%, or 1% of people are criminals. It was an example that explains why multiplying to adjust for population ratio is a lie. Do you understand?
