It sure sounds like an excuse, amigo. You are literally saying that because someone is poor they have a propensity to rape, assault or murder people? Get real. There are tons of crime statistic from the FBI and they all show the same thing. For every type of violent crime, blacks are skewing the numbers. If we remove that segment, then the per capita numbers drop significantly. I have a correlation for you... voting for Democrats leads to higher crime rates.My goodness. One statistic. You need to go back and review the FBI's data, bro. It's that way across all of the violent crime types and has been that way ever since the FBI started compiling the data. The bottom line is that American's are not violent. Certain segments of America is, and since you are using our total statistics to inform your opinion, your opinion is being skewed by the segment which is skewing the data. Like I said, rather than worrying about guns, you just might to want to deal with the real root cause of the problem.Blacks committed 4 times the per capita murders with guns than the national average. If blacks had just committed murders at the rate of the national average, our gun death rate would have dropped from 2.67 murders per 100,000 persons to 1.76 murders per 100,000 persons.
So when liberals talk about taking guns away, that is code for taking guns away from blacks.
Then again blacks are far more likely to be in poverty too. White people in poverty are more likely to use guns in crime, as are black people. But then it's easy to just take one statistic and float it around without looking at the whole situation, isn't it?
Blaming poverty is an excuse.
No, blaming poverty isn't an excuse. I've actually gone and broken down violent crime statistics by areas of a city based on poverty levels and found that actually poverty levels and crime often go hand in hand.
The problem is getting those detailed statistics. The stats I used were from London because I could get all of these statistics, for poverty levels, for income levels, for numbers of black people, Asian people, white people etc, and I could get crime statistics for each of this, at the local level, not at city level.
You have not used any evidence at all. You're just throwing things at me and hoping they stick.
