I am a bit unconfident about it…
Here, to give a basis of the argument I need to debunk, here’s an article from right-libertarian think tank Reason.com to respond to:
https://reason.com/volokh/2021/04/24/race-and-violent-crime/
Blacks, which here means non-Hispanic blacks, were 12.5% of the U.S. population, and non-Hispanic whites were 60.4%. It thus appears from this data that the black per capita violent crime rate is roughly 2.3 to 2.8 times the rate for the country as a whole, while the white per capita violent crime rate is roughly 0.7 to 0.9 times the rate for the country as a whole.
Note: keep in mind he’s extrapolating a certain part of the U.S, New York, to the rest of America’s national crime statistics
Something in the vein of a masterpost like Naomi’s research and rhetoric masterdoc
Easily understandable and accessible, yet with a great amount of statistics put upon it
It’s not that I learned it… it’s just that I’ve haven’t challenged the notion (this is just probably one of those notions that I had gotten, during my years as a slight chud…)
