I knew sooner or later someone was going to play that old under the sleeve statistical standby card. Yep, Blacks are approximately 13% of the population but that number has nothing to do with decent black folk who will never murder anyone. Why do you suggest that it does? By your statistical logic one could posit that since non Hispanic whites make up about 64% of the population, those 8 hate murders they committed in 2012 represents 80% of hate murders for that year which exceeds their population percentage by 16 percentage points. Blacks, OTOH committed one hate murder which is 10% of the total
and is less than their population percentage by 3 percentage points.
Well, BY YOUR NUMBERS 6 (SIX) white were involved, and being 64 % whites total, that comes out to 10.66% and your 2 (TWO) blacks for the 13% blacks comes out to 15.3%
What about the percentage of the Black population already incarcerated, presuming these hate crimes were committed outside prison.
If you are going to look at percentages, to try to categorize crime,
how many hate rapes and violent attacks are committed by MEN as opposed to women?
How much of this is MALE aggression?
In the case of Zimmerman and Martin, that is one factor they had in common regardless of race. Why isn't that taken more seriously and addressed as a prevalent factor in crime?
i agree with you about male aggression.
but you are ignoring reality if you ignore the fact that zimmerman hunted martin because of the color of his skin.
