Still hostile and aggressive. I never once suggested "all black men are criminals." You did that!
What I said is that I (and probably most people, of every race) would feel more unsafe when approached by an unfamiliar black man, than white man, because crime statistics have taught us to beware. With white on white murder, usually they know each other. With black on white crimes of any kind, usually not. (No doubt the reverse is true as well.) Poor white neighborhoods have a much lower murder rate than equally poor black neighborhoods. Which would be statistically safer for me?
Twisting or parsing the data to fit your agenda does not change the facts, only perceptions of it.
No all you've done is try and justify your racist beliefs. Have at it. It's a free country.
Is this per capita? Definitely not in actual numbers. Can you provide a link to this information?
Meanwhile, the focus of your rant has been about the innocence of black men. How many of them are going to college?
Picking and choosing factoids to defend a flawed position does not prove anything.
Nothing... and I mean nothing you just wrote, made a lick of sense. You tell me to read a book, yet, you cannot write a coherent or grammatically legible thought in the English language.
You see how I might find you difficult do deal with?
This is a travesty not only did you miss history class but you also missed reading comprehension. If you spent less time profiling black men and more time in school, perhaps you wouldn't be struggling so much.
I hate when some people attempt to use statistics on this site. And they try to use it to make it sound like you should be rightfully wary of black people in general.
The statistics actually translate to:
If you are white, a white person is overwhelmingly most likely to kill you.
If you are white, a white person is overwhelmingly most likely to rape you
If you are white, a white person is overwhelmingly most likely to rob you/assault you/burglarize your home.
If you are black, a black person is overwhelmingly most likely to kill you.
If you are black, a black person is overwhelmingly most likely to rape you
If you are black, a black person is overwhelmingly most likely to rob you/assault you/burglarize your home.
Case in point, if you are white you should be more wary of the white folk around you. If you are black, well you already know.
I can't believe such ignorance exist on this planet.
Should I presume that every white person I meet is a racist?? I mean I can't read minds. Most white people are said to be racist, perhaps they all are. Why can't whites take responsibility for the racist whites out here and fix them. Many whites are spouting off racist rhetoric on a daily basis.
If we got rid of all the white racist in the U.S., there would be no more racism in this country.
Should I get scared anytime a white man with a trench coat enters a building??? I mean white people do commit most of the mass murders in this country?
There would still be more then half the racism left! You forgot about black racism against whites!
"Forty-five percent of black crime is against whites, 43 against other blacks, and 10 percent against Hispanic"
"Blacks are 39 times more likely to commit a violent crime against whites then vice versa"
This is a travesty not only did you miss history class but you also missed reading comprehension. If you spent less time profiling black men and more time in school, perhaps you wouldn't be struggling so much.
Indeed, the numbers wouldn't be hard to verify either. In fact, it'd be quite easy; just an hour of number crunching in Excel with UCR numbers. If indeed true that US crime would equal that of Switzerland, it would be quite sobering.
The exercise required a bit of extrapolation since most countries don't measure rates the same. That said, the numbers don't become equivalent to that of Switzerland by a long shot.
The numbers drop when altogether factoring out the AA demographic from crime stats (victims & offenders) and adjusting U.S. population statistics.
For 2012 when altogether factoring out the AA demographic, the US Rate drops approximately from 103rd in the world (murder per capita) to approximately 125th (4.8 to 3.06 per 100,000)
For 2011 when altogether factoring out the AA demographic, the murder rate drops by about 44.4%.
