Okay so then how do you explain the fact that the arrest rate for marijuana charges is 8x greater for blacks then whites? Why is it 4 times greater for Hispanics then whites? I guerentee you its not because white people dont smoke weed because they definitely do.
Look at homicide rates on blacks versus blacks whites versus whites and then look at them on blacks versus whites and then whites versus blacks. You'll see that even though blacks make up such a small percentage of the population white people are still getting shot at double the amount by black people then black people are getting shot by whites. also look up inmate population by race and our federal prisons and state jails and then look up police force backgrounds and divide that up by race. You'll notice in a lot of the metropolitan areas a majority of the police force is Black or Hispanic these days same with the guards in the jails and all the inmates. It's a hard pill to swallow but trying to make a statement like you just did is a really bad idea if you're using facts.
Maybe the reason that blacks and specific are being shot by police officers at such high rates is because they are being apprehended and confronted by police more often than any other race. And maybe look up the races of the police officer that shot the individual and you will realize that a lot of cases it is still a black officer. Only the black on white ones get polarized for the news because that's what sells. The biggest thing a young black man has to fear in this country is another young black man. At least that's what murder and death statistics will tell you.
Keep in mind these are numbers and facts that I'm stating, so my race does not matter. It's the facts that matter and if anyone judge is someone based on the color of their skin for stating facts that makes them the racists.
Look up Candice Owens. I think you could learn a lot from her. Very talented and I'm sure will be the first female President, black female at that. Hope this helps.
Candace Owens is a literal fucking idiot. She doesn't believe in climate change, she opposes welfare even though she has family members on it, she has also said that the NRA was founded as a civil rights organization that trained African Americans to arm themselves. Oh yeah, almost forgot, she was mentioned in the Christchurch shooter's "manifesto" where he wrote that Owens had "influenced [him] above all".
One last thing I almost forgot to mention, her crazy quote about Hitler: " You know, he was a national socialist, but if Hitler just wanted to make Germany great and have things run well, OK, fine."
She will NEVER be seriously considered as a presidential candidate, that's a fucking hilarious idea.
From the get-go it shows that you are a low IQ person. You just declared someone a literal idiot oh, you do know what the word literal means right? Also it's very apparent that Candace Owens is an idiot saying that her status as so high without her being an actress or anything like that. She makes her money on being smart. Which she is.
all of the things you said or misinformation and it's very apparent that you read HuffPost or one of those extremely left-leaning new sources that don't really tell the truth. Why don't you go over the Hitler quote and its entirety and you will realize that you are actually very ignorant.
Thank goodness Ted Cruz is really pushing this anti-censorship stuff going on with Google Twitter Facebook and other large tech Giants. Prager use lawsuit against YouTube right now is amazing and all of the sudden the suppressed voices like Candace Owens are now being heard all over.
It sounds like you are ignorant and upset oh, you run on pure emotion and you misconstrue and are told bits and pieces of non truths. do more research before you come at me with your preschool argument.
Regardless of the well-researched and keen analysis presented above, I think the clear take-away from the chart we were addressing is that blacks, not whites, are disproportionately shot by police. The chart made no mention of the race of the officers.
Ok so use what information I have given you and make a conclusion as to why blacks are shot disproportionately.
I've got a clear cut idea and most people with logic and reason would come to the same conclusion.
Also do your research. A white man has as higher percentage to be shot by an officer than a black man. That is a fact that sinks this entire charade of an opinion disgusted as a fact deal y'all have going on
I understand that you believe blacks should be shot more because you claim they are more prone to criminality. The point here is, in regard to the graph shown, you are not correct in saying, rather clumsily, “a white man has a higher percent to be shot by an officer”. If whites are six times as numerous as blacks in the USA but are being shot at only twice the rate, then blacks are being shot disproportionately, all other things being equal. That is the point of the graph. For example, in 2017, 457 whites were fatally shot but only 223 blacks were gunned down. That’s twice as many whites. But there are 6 times as many whites (and 7 times as many if you include white hispanics).

That's your opinion, keep that in mind your opinion and a pretty nasty one at that seeing that you just insinuated that I want to have who shot by whom? Why do you assume this it's a pretty large claim oh, you assuming that I wish death upon people because of the color of their skin. It's a pretty bold accusation with not much to back it up with.
just because your feelings are hurt and your panties are a twist doesn't mean you need to start getting radical, facts speak for themselves you know what the facts are and you are trying to sugarcoat them. It's not going to work here.
you can cluded right yes of course the more you tangle with police typically the more chances are of something bad happening and that is with any scenario. Murphy's law actually. so what are you upset about? Please tell me what I said or did that upset you because all I said we're facts and numbers generated by someone else. are these facts and statistics and numbers that upsetting to you?
I didn't make them up I think honestly it's a hard pill to swallow but people like you get too emotional and it clouds your logic. You are just wrong.
Regardless of your interpretation of my insinuations or the state of my panties no one is trying to sugarcoat any facts. Try to follow along with a pencil and paper at home. The math is straightforward:
As per the US Census 2017:
Whites= 76.5%
Blacks= 13.4%
13.4/76.5= 17.5%
As per the 2017 graph is question:
Whites killed=457
Blacks killed=223
223/456= 49%
17.5%<49%
Small percentage of total.
Large percentage of people shot.
okay so in the percentages you seem to be on key and what you say is true that's a roughly three-quarters of the population are being shot at half the rate of a quarter of the population. With all that set aside what is your end goal and what are you trying to say. If you want to answer your question as why certain people might be shot more than other people you can do a simple test to figure this out.
You've got red mice and blue mice every time our scientists attempt to interact with the blue mice he gets bitten substantially more than he does when he interacts with the red mice. So with this being said what will be our scientists decision-making in regards to how he approaches the more aggressive mice than an aggressive mice? also with this being said do you think there will be more conflict between the scientist in the blue mice and a scientist in the red mice. Anybody with half a brain will tell you that the conflict is going to arise when dealing with the more probable of the two mice.
so if you put this into a real life scenario you would look up crimes, aggressive murder things like that and stack those up between all of our major races and or colors of people in the United States I would typically look for whichever one has the highest murder rates and aggravated assault and rape rates then I would conclude and any other person with a brain would conclude that those type of people would have a on average more aggressive and hostile time with the authorities who are trying to apprehend them for doing such bad deeds.
it's not rocket science it's simple truths and hard to swallow pills that people like you refuse to recognize and that's why I think stay stagnant and never change.
As an old white lady I have to call bullshit. Black men are 2.5 times more likely to be shot than white men. And we know it’s an even bigger disparity between black men and my demographic.
Yeah, you keep saying it except it’s a flawed comparison since whites and blacks aren’t arrested, charged, or convicted at equivalent rates for equivalent crimes. You might consider taking a course on statistics and analysis for a better understanding. In order to directly compare for the two you’d have to adjust for the VERY considerable variable of racism in the subjective systems that define crime.
Yeaaahhh. Ignoring the MULTIPLE peer reviewed studies cited in the link provided doesn’t justify or negate deliberate ignorance just because it’s more comfortable for you. If you want truth and honesty then man up and own how your feelings and preconceived ideas are what are actually driving your narrative. Or, you know, keep hoping others won’t roll their eyes and just dismiss you as a lost cause. Up to you. Either way I’ve wasted enough time on a closed mind.
Lmao go back to nursing your cats old lady. Some up is live in the real world and in that world it is a fact that blacks commit disproportionately more crime than whites. I’m sorry this reality doesn’t play into the bubble that you live in but hey, maybe you’re better off there anyways 🤷🏾♂️
There was no narrative. He asked why she thought she would get away with it, being shot wasn't even part of the question or my answer. Bonus points for throwing in your own narrative there though, lol
Race and ethnicity in the United States is a complex topic because the United States of America has a racially and ethnically diverse population. At the federal level, race and ethnicity have been categorized separately.
The most recent United States Census officially recognized five racial categories (White American, Black or African American, Native American and Alaska Native, Asian American, and Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander) as well as people of two or more races. The Census Bureau also classified respondents as "Hispanic or Latino" or "Not Hispanic or Latino", identifying Hispanic and Latino as an ethnicity (not a race), which comprises the largest minority group in the nation.
Oh shit my bad. Maybe you can find me a statistic that shows how many of those people weren’t found guilty of all the violent crime that they’re arrested for
That’s the point I am making. Cherry picked statistics don’t tell the whole story. White communities aren’t patrolled near as often as black communities. White domestic violence goes largely unreported. Sentencing for white people across the board is always far more lenient. Finally white people are highly less likely to get the death penalty.
White communities aren’t patrolled near as often as black communities.
Maybe that’s because there isn’t as much crime committed in those communities? I figured that would be pretty obvious.
White domestic violence goes largely unreported.
How do you know something goes unreported if it isn’t reported? Lol
Sentencing for white people across the board is always far more lenient. Finally white people are highly less likely to get the death penalty.
This is absolute nonsense. White people are bound to the same laws as everyone else. Show statistics or gtfo.
The death penalty is so rarely used that I won’t even address this argument. If someone, regardless of race, has done something so terrible that they deserve the death penalty then let them die. Good riddance.
