    Race is almost never an issue.

    No matter how angry that makes you, that is not my fault. You can emotionally lash out and refuse to accept reality, but that is on you.

    I however, look at the world for what it is and have come to the only rational conclusion...that race is almost never an issue.

    It is fools like BLM, that pretend to make it an issue when it most certainly isnt. They, and those that think like them, are the problem.

    Like it or not, evidence is not on your side.

    LOL No! Race is only an issue when you make it an issue. I'm white, my wife is white. When we argue, it has nothing to do with race.
    When a black man shoots at a black man, race has nothing to do with it.
    When a white man shoots at a white man, race has nothing to do with it.

    Why would you think otherwise?

    Except I said 1 out of 3 cows. In the US 1 heard = 200 cows on average. That means 66 cows per herd or about 3,333 cows for your 50 herds. If you think 1 cow being sick out of 200 has meaning then I guess 66 cows have even more meaning and more urgency.

    But again, WHY are those cows getting sick? Is it through abuse? Neglect? Ignorance? Environmental? That is something that statistic is not telling you. Like I said. Statistics only point out what is countable. They don't tell you they WHY.

    Do NOT put words into my mouth. I said that there existed a greater than zero chance that genetic differences between races (yes, GENETIC) could potentially account for why you have so many young black men incarcerated, for why it seems that many who meet that description view the use of force as the first thing to do, rather than a last, desperate thing to do, as well as many, many, many other things that have nothing whatsoever to do with crimes, criminality, or violence, and I used the indisputable fact that they WAY over represent any other race when it comes to most sports as evidence of that.

    But to explore such questions will never happen, because you and people like you will see even positing the question itself as pro-forma evidence that the person doing so is, effectively, the Grand Wizard of the KKK. No behavioralist, no criminologist, no doctor, no anybody is going to stand up and commit career suicide by admitting such a question is viable and suggest that's it's something that should be researched, because not only will they instantly lose their jobs, but they will also be unhireable again anywhere near their actual profession.

    As for me, I'm starting to think there's something there? WHY IN THE HELL COULD I POSSIBLY SAY SOMETHING SO "RACIST"????? Observable statistics.

    Roughly 80% of the time, when the even news tells me that someone got arrested for shooting someone else, or other violent crimes, when I look up at the screen, it's a black male between 15 and 35. The over-representation of blacks incarcerated in prison is certainly a red flag, and even something as simple as an episode of Judge Judy I watched one time... Two guys were playing a pickup game of basketball, and the black man "thought" the white man "looked at him funny", so his FIRST response was to sucker punch the guy square in the face. I saw footage of a CVS being looted near my home some months ago in the midst of one of the riots crisscrossing the country, and of about 30 people (more or less) that participated, 100% (yes, 100%) of them were black. Even the recent smash and grab robberies happening out west appear (though it may be an illusion based on how the cameras has picked up their clothing in such low resolutions) to be 100% black.

    But, we'll never know if I'm right or not for reasons previously outlined. And that means we won't be able to attempt to come up with a strategy of dealing with it, of giving these young men some sort of alternatives to just reacting to even slight provocations (which may or may not even be real) with violence first, and asking questions later. Ending the war on drugs will help, but that will help by preventing street-level dealers (mostly) from being sent to prison in the first place, it won't purge them of any violent nature they MIGHT have, nor is it likely they'll be the ones hired by the new legal drug distribution channels, which will likely require things like degrees in pharmacology, whether or not the hypothesis that, as a group, they are more violent turns out to be true or false.

    Be very clear, I am NOT saying it's true. Only that there are a lot of reasons to suspect it MIGHT be that need to be, but never will be, researched to find out. But all I'm doing is proposing a hypothesis that fits the existing data, at least as available to Joe Six Pack like you and me.

    What if I showed you a study that showed data that black drivers were more prone to speeding than white drivers? Would you accept the data or would you say that I'm racist for showing you the data? Maybe you would say that the author of the study was racist? What you would not do is accept that black drivers speed more than white drivers. That is what happened in real life. A study showed that blacks were not only more likely to speed but much more likely to speed at speeds greater than 90mph. "...civil rights groups have dismissed its methods as ''loony science'' and called Matthew T. Zingraff, the lead researcher from North Carolina State University, a racist and a police apologist. Mr. Zingraff has said he was merely trying to find new data to quantify racial profiling."
    When you don't like the data or when it doesn't fit your narrative, just cry racism.

    A review of history will show that White people have conducted more genocides around the world than any other racial group.

    What is this, third grade? "I know you are, but what am I????"

    Care to throw out a hypothesis of your own instead of just saying "neener, neener, neener" like a schoolyard bully?

    The evidence, the published evidence, the vetted evidence, is all on my side. Life must be nice in your little bubble

    I don't think they committed more I think they're just better at it.

    Your one in three has no meaning by itself. It only has meaning when there is something to compare it to.

    Given your awesome familiarity with legal outcomes vis a vis conviction rates and length of sentences of black outcomes vs white outcomes, how do you explain your failure to see what is as plain as the nose on your face?

    :rolleyes: In the end you can't argue against what I have stated. Which is why you're focusing so much on an example. Doesn't matter if you're comparing two things or a million things or just using one thing. The numbers just show the numbers. They do not tell you the WHY.

    Your opinion will be quoted in the future.

    Obviously your mind is made up on this, unalterably so. No act, no authority, nothing can change that. I get it.

    There is no published or vetted evidence that is on your side. There is simply opinion.

    The fact you believe all of that is beyond indicative you are projecting with the bubble comment.

    The evidence, is not on your side at all...it is on mine. Your inability to see that is not my fault.

    Nope. Doesn't change them at all. A closed mind which can't be reasoned with is not worth wasting time on.

    Projection.

    It doesn't matter how much you want your arguments to be true, they arent.
