Yes you did make that argument.The fallacy of correlation. It makes no sense at all to assume whites commit so much crime just because they are near each other.I'd have to say thats a logical fallacy.With about 70% of the population being white it would follow that whites commit most of the crime. And eat the most ice cream. And jog the most miles. And do the most of pretty much everything.
Can we just cut to the chase? You clearly have a point to make. Make it.
Which logical fallacy, specifically?
I refuse to believe white people commit so many crimes just because they are too many of them around each other.
Which might have some relevance if I'd made that argument. You're engaging in the 'strawman fallacy'. As the argument you 'refuse to believe' isn't one that's being made.
Try again. This time actually quoting me.
Also it has nothing to do with eating ice cream. Youre saying most crimes when I clearly said so many crimes.
Its an example of all the actions that white people would do 'so much' of.
Can you just get to the point?
I've made no such argument. You did. Engaging in the 'Strawman Fallacy'. Refuting an argument I never made.
So I ask again, what fallacy have engaged in? Remembering of course that you'll have to cite an argument I've actually made.
Yes you did make that argument. Here is the quote you asked for.
Because there are so many white people.
And no where in that statement did I say that white people commit so crime because they are 'near to each other'. You added that. Citing yourself.
Making your claim a strawman. If your argument had merit, you wouldn't need the fallacies.
That only works if I said so much. I said so many.
Says you, citing yourself, adding words and arguments I've never made. Alas, your claiming I made that argument. And by your own admission, I said no such thing. As your quote above demonstrates.
Try again, this time without the fallacies.
Nope. Not once. As your own quote of my argument demonstrates, all your inane ' just because they are near each other' babble never appears in my argument.
You made it up. Thus the strawman is yours.
If your argument had merit, you wouldn't need the strawman fallacies. Try again.
Not only is that a fallacy it also never addresses my question. Why do whites commit so many crimes even in light of the fact they own most if not all of the resources in this country?
Asked and answered: Because there are 'so many' white folks.
If you want a different answer you'll have to define what 'so many' means in 'why do whites commit so many crimes'.
You refuse to do so.
