What about when we address violent crime rates and who is most likely to be committing a violent crime?

I do? Love how you take the liberty of putting words in my mouth.

Anyway, it's not like black Americans came here willingly. So, for one to think that they "should have stayed" would be quite strange.

What are you talking about? Ah, ok, that shooting. I didn't pay much attention to that, was as unusual as the sun rising. But I think that the solution would be more guns. More guns to everyone and nobody would shoot anymore.

Everyone knows your views on immigration, that people should "stay where they belong"... Not that your relatives did of course...

But at least the second part confirms what I said was right. You are unbelievable

Straw man argument, just because someone committed a violent crime in the past means they should get shot by police? You know some "violent crimes" are complete bull**** right? I almost got an assault charge one time because I was talking **** to some guy who kept yelling at me and my ex and he called the cops and told him some BS story. I would have been seen as a "violent criminal" too.


You're very naive for thinking the way you do, you have some growing up to do clearly.


By your logic, why don't we just shoot all black men? I mean proportionally they are the violent criminals right? I'm not sure whether one is going to rob me or beat me up, let me just shoot him since he's most likely to commit a crime. Ridiculous way of thinking.

What about if we address who is committing the most terrorists attacks around the world? What religion would those people be again??

Oh no, but that's not everyone, only some people!


Irks me when people ***** about discrimination to their own people, but discriminate other races. Hypocritical as hell.


By his logic, police should immediately shoot a muslim suspect, since we don't know whether he's going to blow us up.

I think he means that if blacks commit violent crimes at a higher rate, they're likely to be suspects at a similar higher rate, and I'd expect the police killing of black to be closer to % of crimes committed by blacks than their population.

Generally, putting something in quotes signifies a direct statement, but I don't believe I'd ever stated that.

I would say my views on immigration are nuanced - like anybody's. I don't feel the need to go into specifics, but I do disapprove of immigration to Europe, indeed.

To America, I don't even care much. I don't necessarily see it as an exclusively white land. For instance, I sympathize with Native Americans more than you probably think I would.

for example (though I saw a response saying other studies reached a different conclusion)
