Featured A Pastoral Letter to White Americans

So all 3000+ obviously did something that the police thought warranted a deadly response. And dealing with Annsi's presented numbers and just those numbers as the whole for the population

Those representing 13% of the population account for approximately 34.5% of those killed.
Those representing about 73% of the population account for
65.5% of those killed.

Prima facie evidence quickly says there is a racial discrimination problem in the killing of people of different races by police.

And anyone who can't see this needs to be quiet in perpetuity about abortion in the black communities.

 

What are you talking about? The CDC numbers are for the nation as a whole so why can't I crunch out percentages for the nation as a whole from that?

Nobody said they did.

Making mental notes to use this when yall start talking about Blacks being more likely to murder or have abortions.

The cities are irrelevant when you're looking at the nation as a whole. And as a whole, the numbers on the face shows there is a racial discrimination problem. This isn't something within an acceptable degree of error.

We're talking 13% to 34.5%. There's a problem.

Making mental notes when it is expressed how much more likely Blacks are to murder than anyone else.

The conclusion fits because the numbers are for the NATION. Nobody said anything about a distribution of why the numbers are what they are.

But the distribution doesn't affect that as a NATION the numbers reflect an on the face discrimination by police officers when it comes to killing.

 

It's incredible how certain white people on this board have complained about black people declaring others to be racists. The same white people have deemed others race baiters left and right. Yet these same white people are the only ones on this board who seem to constantly refer to someone else as a racist.

Go figure.:laugh:

 

Another excellent story plain_n_simple. Thanks for linking it.

Which is why I said an on the face discrimination earlier and I think some folks didn't understand that that doesn't mean there's a discrimination problem, but that on the face it certainly LOOKS like it and it needs to be looked into further to see why the numbers are so skewed.

Unfortunately all the signs do point to it being just what it looks to be on the face---mass discrimination from police forces across the nation which is no surprise to black people.

That needs to be reworded. Blacks are likely to be arrested at a rate of 50/50 just like everybody else. But statistically, they HAVE BEEN arrested more than any other racial group and this can be used to show an on the face racial discrimination within the system.

 

White people are 73% of the population. White people commit more crime. :laugh:

.

Economics. Blacks are economically disadvantaged from cradle to grave when compared to their white counterparts. So when you've got entire communities economically disadvantaged vs white communities that aren't, there will be violence.

And though there may not be any shootings in your white neighborhood, the white neighborhoods are where the majority of the forcible rapes and aggravated assaults, burglaries, larcenies, etc, are taking place.

They don't have a higher crime rate. They have a higher crime rate for SOME crimes. The white communities definitely have a higher crime rate when you look at ALL crime.

 

I don't think p_n_s is saying that what you say isn't true for some Blacks annsi. But as a whole, socieoeconomically, Blacks are hindered more than their white counterparts.

Why is black unemployment always twice or more than what it is amongst Whites? Over the last 60 years, the unemployment rate for Blacks has averaged about 2.2 times what it was for Whites.

Blacks are three times more likely to live in poverty than white children.

Blacks are more likely to receive high-cost mortgages vs their white counterparts.

There are lots and lots of examples, but they all point to there being a socioeconomic disparity.

Sure, like your friend, there are Blacks who can pull themselves up. But that doesn't happen nearly at the rate that it does for their white counterparts.
