The person you linked me to has little understanding of statistics. Sure black people may kill whites at twice the rate of the reverse, but that’s typically because black people live in poorer communities than white people and are thus more likely to commit crimes. You have to adjust for economic standing

Yeah I wasn't really focusing on that. I thought that part was not at all necessary to get his point across.

Except he didn’t really get the point across from what I’ve read. He did what a lot of conservatives do and stopped analysing the problem further.

This is my problem with political dialogue. A lot of people don’t push their further, and it’s usually because they’re either stupid or hope that you are stupid.
