Why do people follow click bait nonsense like this? Even on a forum where people are supposed to be more informed on this type of subject they really don't have a clue or just plain don't understand how statistics work...
Which may speak to the point joeyg is making about Hartford, as TX cities sprawl to the point that their outer city neighborhoods would be first or even second ring suburbs in the Northeast and in most Midwestern metros.
There is no explanation..lol he's just trying to skew everything else and keeps trying to show how dangerous af Memphis is, I can see his subliminals. Joey we get it dude Memphis is hangin slangin and bangin LOL. I wouldn't ride thru Memphis with it off safety but damn some places are built different and yes alot of murders in a small area = very hot block don't go complacent. City limits is city limits quit trying change eveything in your favor

Reason: a
B) it is absolutely racist to assume that race is the cause of violence
So, no, it is not technically racist to point out the demographics, but if that's where your analysis ends, you're probably a bigot.
obviously there is more to it but race does effect the way you behave not for any biological reason, but because of the social interactions you have with people and the percentage chance your ancestors have less to pass down to you.
Of course it's a fair comparison when you're comparing things after a particular size. There is a very good reason why the FBI doesn't give out stats usually for cities that are under 250,000 people. And yes, if there are two areas with 50 assaults - one area has 500 people in it and the other has 10,000 people, then the area with 500 people is CLEARLY more dangerous and the odds for anybody there being the victim of an assault statistically is incredibly higher than a person in that 10,000 person area. If you don't understand this then you have a lot to learn about just statistics in general.
The FBI do give stats for cities under 250K and they also disregard RANKING cities based on the various factors behind those stats. I understand that it's a higher CHANCE not more DANGEROUS in which the details are different. Ex: 50 assualts in a 500 could be in one location compare to 50 assualts spread out over 10K and vice versa. Or 50 assualts could be a riot or tourists visiting a city. I understand that there's factors behind a rate , so one is higher than other but not necessary worst.
