The murder rate in any given US city is more correlated to the percentage of the population that is black, than it is to the average income, density, or gun ownership.
What does that have to do with me? It may be a good predictor from that list but it would be wrong more often than not.
I don't have to account for other black people anymore than you have to account for other white people. I agree it's fucked up, how violent black people are as a population, but your data don't say anything about individual black people, only large groups.
I didn’t say it has anything to do with you. You’re right that data like this don’t tell you about individuals, they tell you about groups and theoretical ‘average’ persons. You likely aren’t average if you’re on here.
Black murder rate is 8x as high as white last I heard. That still means most black people aren't murderers. Far from assuming anything about me or most black people.
These data become even more obvious depending on the area. Most black murders happen in 5 cities. Far from an inherent black trait.
“There are plenty of White people” is deceitful. We know where violent crime comes from in the United States. The statistics could not be clearer.
Yes, I know the numbers too. There are more violent blacks than violent whites, but skin color is still not a good predictor of violence.
It is actually the best predictor.

This is fucking idiotic. The stats aren't just a little skewed. They are massively skewed.
Really, idiotic?
