Which statement was racist?

[M14 Shooter]

I ask because (pre-Elon) Twitter suspended someone I know for making a racist statement – one of the three below:

~63% of murderers are black
~56% of NFL athletes are black
~73% of NBA athletes are black

Which one do you think it was, and why?

For reference::

racism​

noun​

rac·ism ˈrā-ˌsi-zəm

1. : a belief that race is a fundamental determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race

Definition of RACISM

You used Twitter?!?!

None......"Racism" is just a lame social construct pitting one ethnicity against the other and used as a means of control of same.

Which begs the question of why the OP is engaged in baiting the topic?

I do, but it wasn't me.

The answer is also embedded in the OP, again, can you read?

But first, it begs a better question:
Why are you avoiding it?

Same as IM2?

Between the lines, sure.

Is it? Why would you think something divisive is better?

 

[DukeU]

~63% of murderers are black

Could be any of the three considering Twitter pre-Elon, but I would choose this one. For the simple fact it is a grossly high number, and it goes against one of their favorite narratives.

 

[konradv]

Same as IM2?

OK, I thought it was “principles” or something!

 

[M14 Shooter]

Is it? Why would you think something divisive is better?

All I see here is you avoiding the issue at hand.
Do better.

 

[DukeU]

Between the lines, sure.

Dammed if I know....When someone starts harping on the social construct of "racism" I know that they don't really have a good grasp of things.

Do you have a source for the statement 63% of murderers are black? Seems high to me.

Avoiding the issue?
Tsk tsk

If you knew the reality of the situation, you'd not have to ask that question.
Educate yourself. It’s not hard.

No need to be disagreeable. I wanted to know where you got that stat, because it appears to be incorrect. According to the FBI, blacks arrested for murder is 51.2%

Racism Is a Realistic Judgment on Content of Character

Being against racism is a Preppy way of despising the White working class. Their Daddies had always told them that the rest of the White race was stupid, lazy, and greedy. In order to come up with something on their own, they virtue-signaled with the illusion that the natural racism of those who aren't sheltered from the real world is unethical.
