dogcows 1,030 Posted April 18, 2021 32 minutes ago, tanatastic said: The analysis, titled "A Public Health Crisis in the Making," found that although Black men and boys ages 15 to 34 make up just 2% of the nation's population, they were among 37% of gun homicides that year. That's 20 times higher than white males of the same age group. Of all reported firearm homicides in 2019 But your original statement was: Quote Black people, despite being a minority of the population are still far and away the leaders in gun violence in America. 37% is not “the leaders in gun violence” despite being a minority. If you said, as a percentage of their particular group, then you would be right. But you didn’t. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerryskids 6,857 Posted April 18, 2021 1 hour ago, dogcows said: No, I don’t have a lack of understanding of the scientific method. You do not like the limited scope of this study because you would rather that they expand the scope, or look at it from a different angle, or something. Your own example disproves your argument. People had been studying the motion of the stars and planets for centuries. It took somebody hypothesizing that the earth might be orbiting the sun, then re-examining the data based on that assumption. If the data didn’t match, then the hypothesis would have been proven wrong. A hypothesis, tested through experiment. That’s the scientific method. Perhaps you think the researchers should have studied something else. They laid out what they studied, why they studied it, and what the results were. You seem to be bothered by their choice of what to study, as you’ve not shown that any of their data is invalid. Nobody’s thumb was on any scale here. These are the findings on this particular set of data, studying the “Risk of being killed by police use of force in the United States by age, race–ethnicity, and sex”. It doesn’t purport to answer every single question about police violence, crimes committed by race, or any of the other questions that might be related to it. These are the questions you want the answers to, but that’s not what the study is about. If you’d like to point out actual flaws in the data or conclusions drawn, feel free. However, your complaints to this point are that you think the scientists have a political point-of-view that you disagree with. Sorry, that doesn’t invalidate the findings. I guess we can agree to disagree on the hypothesis of the study. From an abstract which specifically names black people killed in police confrontations, and says it highlights the “racial character of police violence,” to a reference list which is majority sociological and has such scientific papers as “Living History of White Supremacist Policing,” I think the authors are being clear and are hoping that people like yourself will use it as a reference in a discussion about police being systemically racist. You think otherwise.

Let’s only assume that black people age 15-34 commit all the black gun homicides that’s 37% every other culture makes up 63% again which is t true cause we know blacks not age 15-34 commit gun homicide let’s just say the rest are equally divided by all Hispanics and whites that gives them 31% each again by all ages so 37 31 31 that means that 2% makes up a vast amount of homicides Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think overall most come to work to do their job and are decent people, but that still doesn't mean there can't be a lot of cops who take advantage of their spot. You know that cops can get away with most things normal citizens can't. Or at least they could until body cams came out.

TBayXXXVII 2,559 Posted April 20, 2021 Crime/violence is NOT a part of the historical culture of black people, it's the current culture of black people. Back in the slavery era, black people were very respectful to each other. You can draw any reasoning from it that you wish, but it doesn't change the fact that they were very civil... probably more civil than white people during that time period. While segregation existed, black people had an extremely low unemployment rate, very low crime rate, very high rate of two-parent households, high levels of education, and overall were rather successful. What changed was they started listening to Democrats. It's not a coincidence that the moment that black people started aligning themselves with the Democrat party, that their culture changed. Black people bought into the idea that they could get government money (welfare), instead of working. They bought into the idea that Republican's hated them (even though history proves the opposite - Dems were the slave owners and KKK originators). Even more evidence... hip hop music (gangster rap), started in the 70's in NYC. What political party controlled NYC in the 50's, 60's, and 70's that these people grew up under... which influenced the music? The genre took root in all the major cities nation-wide. Why? Because black people - post Civil Rights Act, lived in the major cities (monopolized by Democrats), and experienced the very thing that the NYC product depicted. How is that any different today? It's not. Black people centralize in major cities which now have as much as 70 to 80 years of monopolization of local government. The bulk of the claims of systemic racism come from the same places. The bulk of the crime comes from the same places. The bulk of the poverty comes from the same places. It's not a coincidence, it's a direct correlation. Historically, black people are no different than white people from a family-oriented culture. The problem is that they started believing in the party that fought FOR slavery and started the KKK.
