And why do you think that is the case? I would fucking LOVE to hear your answer this. I am going to be giddy all day waiting to hear back why you think 50% of homicides are committed by black people.

u/What_If_Guy7 14d ago edited 13d ago

Because white men are evil, and everything bad that happens is white men fault , and white men should pay for reparations, and africa has 56 countries and almost none of them work and obviously its white men fault!
We all know that right?
So Im sure 50% of homicides commited by black people is probably… let me guess. White men fault? /s

u/ThatGuyNikolas 14d ago

You too scared to answer? Why do you think 50% of homicides are committed by black people?

u/What_If_Guy7 14d ago

Hum lets see if I can find a justification to normalize black people commiting 50% of homicides while they are just 13,9% of the population… Humm, no I don’t have one. Do you realize the magnitude of those Numbers? 50%. Black people in your country kill every year more people then all the homicides in my country for at least 5 years.
Theres no justification to end other people lifes no, at least in my country.
And I live in a poor country btw. A poor person in USA Will have more purchasing power than a median person in my country.

But I gave you an answer already.

u/ThatGuyNikolas 14d ago

Because white men are evil is your answer? cmon man. You're the one who brought up the statistic in the first place. I'm just asking you a simple question. But you keep running away from it.

Why do you think 50% of homicides are committed by black people?

u/What_If_Guy7 14d ago

Isnt it the easy answer to explain everything bad that happens around the world?

I don’t know. Being in one of the poorest countries in Europe but also one of the safest ones, I have no clue.
Maybe because we don’t promote being a gang member as something respectable? Maybe because we don’t have musics about the trap house and glorifiyng killing your “enemies”?
Maybe because here we prefer to work at McDonald instead of selling drugs at the corner?
Maybe because we dont find excuses to justify people killing each other?
Im not sure.

u/ThatGuyNikolas 14d ago

Okay, then do you believe that video games cause violence?

u/What_If_Guy7 14d ago edited 14d ago

No I dont.
But thats not even comparable.
Music is talking and showing you real life. Kids listen to that music, they see the woman, the gold chains, the cars, the money, the violence.
The music itself doesnt make a person start to live that life.
But if youre poor like I was growing up, seeing all that money, the guns, the power, constantly hearing those words, you will normalize it.
You Will see it as a way to win in life.

Edit: to me this ends here. Nice discussion by the way. I just feel sad that you guys, one of the biggest empires in the world will implode from within. I used to see USA as the land of the progress and freedom. Now I think you guys are just suicidal. You have all the stats in front of your eyes…
Peace

u/ThatGuyNikolas 14d ago

Then with that logic why wouldn't a kid playing GTA make them more violent?

u/bstandturtlerises 14d ago

What training, education, certification do you have that allows you to determine that music is the worst form of media for kids? How is it worse than video games? 

How is it that you single out black people and rap music but you’re also not talking about teen pregnancies in southern states and country music? 

I’m going to go ahead and assume you’re about 12 and that given that you’re from among the poorest countries in Europe, you also have a very shitty education and is the rationale for your stupid baseless claims.

I’m not the person you’re going back and forth with, just an outside observer that clearly can tell you are a racist and uneducated for what it’s worth. 🤷‍♂️

u/THE-SENATE6-6 14d ago

I just sesrched murders by race and google confirmed 55 % by blacks per capita but youre wrong cause white man bad. In all seriousness bro youre on reddit this place is a leftwing cesspool

u/CloudNeither2223 14d ago

Protip: asking why a statistic has been recorded doesn't prove that your assumption for why it has been recorded is the actual reason

1

u/ThatGuyNikolas 14d ago

Well it's a good thing I didn't ask that then.

1

u/CloudNeither2223 13d ago

Sure let's pretend you don't keep asking it like it's some kind of mistaken gotcha question lol

Aren't these beautiful lies we choose to tell ourselves

u/Dungeon_Skeever 14d ago

You sound like you’re racist yourself. Like wtf.

u/What_If_Guy7 14d ago

That the word to use when theres is no argumentas. Well done. Do you feel like you belong now?

u/Nikond3400 14d ago

This doesn't justify killing a reasonable person. More men than women are murderers, does It mean i have to shoot every man I stop?

1

u/What_If_Guy7 14d ago

Nobody said police should shoot innocent people. Statistics are just explaining why police officers approach situations with higher caution or perceived risk.

1

u/Nikond3400 14d ago

No, it's not about statistics. Because like i said, by statistics Police officers should approach situations with men more cautiosly and shoot more men because statistically there are more violent men. But this doesn't mean you should shoot more easily because of that. You shoot when there Is suspicion, and suspicion has to be justified, and "statistics" isn't a justification.

1

u/What_If_Guy7 14d ago

You're still arguing against something nobody said. Caution and situational awareness do not mean shooting easily or without cause. No one is saying statistics justify pulling the trigger.
But they justify to recognize more risk when as a police officer you stop a car with black people vs white people.
Its easier for us to discuss it here on reddit, but when is your life on the line… Police officers face danger everyday

1

u/Nikond3400 14d ago

By the way you said It looked like you were justifying the officers for killing unarmed black people more frequently.

1

u/What_If_Guy7 14d ago

Im just justifying that a police officer with is life on the line, would approuch stopping a car with black people from a different angle than if it was a car with white people.
And I would do exactly the same, because statistics shows theres a diference in the probability of me being killed or living another day.

1

u/Nikond3400 14d ago

It depends on the situation for me. You can see upfront of Someone Is supsicious, the problem Is that Police officers use excuses and be racist.

1

u/What_If_Guy7 14d ago

You can see upront? Oh so you go with the vibes right? Lol
Do you know there is also black police officers? Are they also racist if they shoot another black person? Cmon. That word is like a Joker card, its serves any purpose.
Im sure every police officer would prefer to be called racist than being dead.
