minus-squareweker01@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up13arrow-down14·edit-22 days agoYeah, people think black men are dangerous because of racism. 🙄 That’s what you sound like, smh. Disclaimer: I’ve not vetted the statistic I posted but seen similar numbers before. Edit: As has been rightly pointed out the above statistic does not say what I thought it did. A better version would be: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_crime_in_the_United_States
minus-squaresamus12345@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up16arrow-down1·edit-22 days agoThis is tracking who died, not who fired the shot.
minus-squareweker01@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up10arrow-down9·edit-22 days agoJep, like I said did not look too closely into it. Anyway, the point is that taking statistics in a vacuum can lead to strange conclusions. Btw the gist I was going for, that statistically black men make up a disproportionate chunk of the homicide perpetrators in the US is a fact. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_crime_in_the_United_States Still misleading on its own as it does not give insight into the cause of the discrepancy. Racists use this all the time to justify bigotry.
