White privilege at its best

[Vinty]

I bet more black peoples get stopped by the police than those from a Chinese ethnicity ?

Good point.
If police get reports of robbery committed by young black (or white) males, why should they stop and search old age pensioners or any other demographic for that matter.

the problem is poverty not race

try doing the comparison of poverty and crime

And a far higher proportion of black people live in poverty because of a long history of slavery, segregation, and discrimination…

I'm pretty confident that if I moved to the states and became a citizen I too would get myself a gun (+safe, training etc.).

Imagine if this was a Muslim family, white privilege at its best.

It's not privilege, it is insensitive as there was a mass school shooting a few days before.

If you are a criminal then you are more likely to be shot by the police if you are white than black.

if we take a look at how many people the police kill in the USA
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news...un/01/the-counted-police-killings-us-database
I have used the 2016 figures that show the police killed 266 black and 574 white so the police are killing 2.16x more whites.

Now what we need to know is who is coming into contact with the police. And to do this I will take a look at the prison population as a guide, where 34% is Black and 29% white
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incar... the U.S. Bureau,18% of the female population.
so can we assume black people are coming into contact with the police for serious crime 17% more often than whites?

so there we have it, black people are coming into more contact with the police and yet the police are killing twice as many whites?

You like to post the same rubbish?

I thought we had to respect different cultures.

Only brown ones Efli

cannibalism?

Notch, you are being a bit silly lately.

I think he was following yours and mitch66's lead.

" Home of the brave and land of the free" Gosh if I had all that fire power I would be feeling pretty brave

 

[AngleEyes]

If you don't think we should respect cannibalism then why are we told that we must respect other cultures and beliefs?
I will take it that neither of us does believe that, and there is no problem pointing out that some of those cultures and beliefs - religion etc. - are nothing short of ludicrous.

You're trying to base an intelligent argument on several flippant comments.
Only a fool tries to do that, because it's nothing short of ludicrous.

You have a habit of assuming you know what I might think.
Our minds couldn't be any more different.
I have never ounce (sic ) were (sic ) I thought of being a panda.

can you explain why you think it is rubbish ?

The source is the Gaudian (home of the wokes) and the figures in wikipedia can easily be found elsewhere.

the rest is just understanding numbers.
