An attorney who is a family friend has once told my father that white people are the most charged per capita, but Black people are the most convicted per capita. Between the charge and the conviction, a lot can happen.
The truth is, Black crime rate is exceptionally high. I'm not gonna suger-coat about that. The punishment in that case would be deserved. However, white people get away with much more. What we ask is not for us to get a slap on the wrist, but for them to face exactly the same punishment as we do for the same criminal offenses.
Also, and here's another thing that people don't mention. 43% of the exonerated are usually Black. That basically means 43% of the innocently imprisoned are Black. They wouldn't tell you about it either.
The truth is, the whole talk about crime statistics is a distraction from the bigger picture. Why is that crime being committed? Do the circumstances allow for a better quality of life? Do you ever see petty theft or robberies in upper class Black neighborhoods in New York/Atlanta? The answer to that last question is HELL NO.
The thing about those statistics that makes ne take them with a grain of salt is that they don't break it down by age and class. Simply comparing race without taking in mind the other factors involved isn't going to give an accurate representation of the full picture. Poor white people commit crime just as much as poor Black people do, but we have less of them, and the study will not show that because that factor was not considered.

u +1 y1. What you have or have not done as an individual has negligible impact on crime statistics for black people in general.
2. If someone says that black people commit more of a particular crime than other races, does that comment automatically qualify that person for the label of "racist" or do you look at crime statistics to determine whether the statement is factually correct?
3. There are national crime statistics available which categorize crimes by the race of the perpetrator and the race of the victim. If those statistics indicate that black people commit more of any particular crime, are those statistics "racist?"

@Rainbowpearl I left out the part about mass shootings because you never said you were talking about mass shootings. Duh! Your statement may be true with respect to mass showings, but those accounts for a VERY small percentage of total homicides every year. Did you look at any of the statistics I linked?

now of course this doesn’t mean all black people are criminals or as soon as you see a black person you instantly assume there a criminal. It means black people commit a disproportionate I’m out of crimes compared to to their rest of the United States. Point out a simple fact isn’t racist
11 Reply1.6K opinions shared on Society & Politics topic. Statistically it is true. 54% of violent crimes are committed by 12 1/2% of the population. (Black people.) If it is statistically true, that doesn't make it racist. Just like the majority of serial killers have been White. I am sure you are okay with that statistic right? Just because it shows something bad about Whites, but you are not okay with a statistic that shows something bad about Black people? That view (your view) is actually racist.

1.2K opinions shared on Society & Politics topic. News and social media makes it seem that we as black people commit a majority of the crimes. Honestly most of our crimes are low compared to white people. Drugs and robbery/armed robbery is from what i know the most we ever do. Of course their are gangs and they do shootings but not like with white people tho. So eh

Asker+1 yYeah we're only the race that deals with racism and police brutality.
Asker+1 yCause you white people killing us so much we fed up
Asker+1 yYou're just a white man's whore lmao
+1 yBecause the news brainwashes them by reporting all the crimes that black people commit then in turn they report on a bunch of white supremecy stuff and that makes people fight with each other meanwhile both of those things are overhyped like they are happening way more than it really is. Blame the media for the spin.
00 Reply2.8K opinions shared on Society & Politics topic. That's a fact. Blacks are the most backward people in the universe. You're always jealous of what others create so you want to destroy it and kill those who are better than you. You will forever be dependent on the assistance of other races. If it wasn't for whites you would even have written languages in Africa.
10 Reply18.6K opinions shared on Society & Politics topic. Yes that is incorrect. The stat theyre alluding to is the amount of crime derived by 13% of the population. So blacks commit double the percent of crime as their population percentage. Its not becuase of melatonin. Its due to poverty, marginalisation and racial segregation.

12 Reply- +1 y
excellent question.
only half the states were slave states during the revolution and about half were slave states during the civil war.
so many racist idiots seem to believe that ALL white people were slave owners when three white nations (US, Britain, France) were the first three nations in the history of the world to make slavery illegal.
but... now the democrats push racial division and blame others for their own evils and idiots now see money and power associated with propagating racism and latch on to any lie that will earn them more money for their newports and tattoos and rims.
if you call yourself an American, fine. you're my neighbor. if you call yourself African whatever, then you're a racist. your race is more important than anything and you'll use skin color to get more free stuff and try to take away my rights and opportunities from my kids just because of skin color. which makes YOU a racist piece of shyt. pure and simple.

What do you think may be a reason why black people commit crimes on average more than white and Asian people?
