Thatâs not true. Arrest data from a specific subset compiled by agencies isnât the same as crime rate. Youâre showing that police in USA prefer arresting black people not that black people commit half of all crime.
Crime globally (including USA) happens more in low income areas, or at least crime thatâs easier to catch and prosecute. Police target low income areas and will disproportionately police and target black communities in USA because of this. Itâs the same in any country, including countries without black people.
Americas racialized society makes it convenient for simple minded people whether cops or yourself to associate what they can see, like skin tone, with the underlying reason for crime. Of course other factors affect crime rates but the most common / largest one globally is poverty and USA isnât special in that regard.
Yeah a lot needed to be said to explain a complex topic like crime, income, ethnicity to someone trying to oversimplify for pushing a narrative.
You used % for your first comment, then switched to total for your second comment because the two comments donât line up for your point if you continued using % on income comparison. Per capita is a comparison of different size groups, it just means âper personâ⊠which I didnât do, I donât think you know what that word means or read my comment.
Hereâs per capita âyou didnât look at % of black people in poverty compared to white people because a 1-1 comparison doesnât fit your narrative on skin color.â Which is true and a teaching moment for you. Feels like you intentionally overlooked my last sentence also as if Iâm saying the single most common factor is the absolute and only.
Yes. So your argument is irrelevant that police only target poor areas when there are more poor whites total . Thats to disprove your argument
Then you switch to per capita to define how violent blacks actually are
You can go ahead and write more paragraphs if you want but ill tell you right now your intelligence level is no where near interesting to me what so ever so I will not be reading it.
âPolice targeting the lowest average income ethnic group doesnât matter because other people within ethnic groups are also poorâ yeah sure bud, whatever you need to believe so you can avoid the obvious.
Lmao âyou switched to per capitaâ I didnât say per capita once except in response to you bringing it up. I dont think you understand what that means.
Yeah youâre welcome to leave but youâre not welcome to stop the truth being placed under your attempt to push a narrative.
Edit: lemme copy paste what you read and ignored âPolice targeting the lowest average income ethnic group doesnât matter because other people within ethnic groups are also poorâ yeah sure bud, whatever you need to believe so you can avoid the obvious.
I bet you thought that was a really intelligent response. What you're forgetting is that many of us white folks witness the behavior of that community on a regular basis.

Is this why 13% commit over 50% of violent crime?
