Never said you did, just pointed out how that rhetoric works. However that 13% comment of yours does insinuate that.

You're offended by this fact? You think stating this fact makes someone a bigot who vilifies an entire group?

And those thugs will most likely never see yours, mines, or anyone else's comments on this site so rants like this "13% of the US population commit over 50% of the murders. a complete embarrassment. But instead of fixing the real problem they will come on in here and cry like the little babies they are. They will blame everyone but themselves." are completely asinine, and do nothing more than annoy and incite negative responses from the Blacks who aren't criminals on this site.

Bottom line is that young black males have much more to fear about other young black males than they do the police.

Why? Is it not a true statement to make? Who cares who sees it? This is a message board. People can share whatever opinion or facts they like.

If people aren't criminals, they shouldn't be offended by it, because clearly the posters are discussing criminals or people who make excuses for the criminals and are somehow sympathetic to them. I see it all the time on CD - blatant ignoring of facts and crying racism for everything. That's what's asinine.

No they are true. If it annoys you then so be it.

Offended? LOL.

Context | Definition of context by Merriam-Webster Got it?

He originally posted "what i find is a disturbing trend is why 13% of the population is committing over 50% of the murders....do we want to discuss that?"

So for the umpteenth time, what percentage out of that 13% is committing crime? Saying 13% of the population commits violent crime insinuates that the ENTIRE Black population in America are criminals.

Or maybe even more disturbing is a very small percentage of 13% commit over 50% of homicides.

Clearly the problem is you don't understand the statistic. People who make up only 13% of the population are responsible for over 50% of murders. This is no way insinuates that all 13% are committing crimes. If you think it does, you have a problem reading and understanding statistics. It's simply stating that a small portion of the population, way less than half, not even a quarter, is responsible for more than half the violent crimes.

I think that someone who would call another person a bigot for stating a statistic/fact is offended by that fact, yeah. Why else would you call someone names for simply reporting an indisputable statistic? I don't need the definition of context to see exactly how you're reacting.
