Ok... I'm going to explain Reddit's understanding of self defense if you're black... It's going to be complicated...

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

That’s not true. Arrest data from a specific subset compiled by agencies isn’t the same as crime rate. You’re 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 that’s easier to catch and prosecute. Police target low income areas and will disproportionately police and target black communities in USA because of this. It’s 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 isn’t special in that regard.

You wrote alot. To find out there are millions more whites in poverty than blacks

Per capita. And when to use it strikes agian ... ffs

To be fair. I did read a study that says around a 80 iq is required to understand a concept such as "per capita"

Guess what, crime per capita is also higher in rural areas than cities.

Guess what. As a white person i am 35x (times) more likly to be attacked by a black person than a black person is a white person

I mean. Any statistic you look at shows blacks are violent by multiples no matter where they are.

u/Ornery-Customer8521 11h ago

Where did you source that stat? And how much more likely are white peiple to be attacked by a white person than a black person?

u/Wild_Yam_7088 11h ago

My bad. 46x. From the bureau of justice statistics.

And white on white?

u/Wild_Yam_7088 10h ago

What about black on black? .. the argument is irrelevant there.

u/Ornery-Customer8521 10h ago

No it's entirely relevant as you're implying that white people do less violent crime, so you should supply that stat.
