I think violence is more aligned with poverty than race. It just so happens that on average white households have much higher income and wealth. So you have to ask, what is the reason for the wealth gap? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So you have to ask, what is the reason for the wealth gap? honestly, I think anyone who says the 13/50 argument is really not ready to have serious discussions or get real solutions to the table. it seems like it is a way for blue/orange white people to justify their preconceived biases, alleviate themselves of guilt and social responsibility and frame things in a "pick yourself up by the bootstraps" manner.

One way to do it is listen to the people (opposing experts) who have the opposite opinion. If they can be convincing (with statistics maybe) then go with it. If not the experts were right.

It's a good point but with "Black Lives Matter" (which I think do matter) it is hard to not speak racially now and for people to look at things like killings by police and murders by race It might be better to not to categorize people by race, to not have it on the census as some countries don't but if so then "Black Lives Matter" is playing in to this color minded system instead of "Stop Police Brutality" which is not not race specified Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, the law is not partial to race so your list here doesn't apply. If you do a crime you are supposed to be charged and treated without regard to race Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The problem is democratic states have a ton of crime. The Asian community is in stem statistically. They have strong family values and work ethic statistically. A father in the household. I don't see any Asians looting in the target vids i saw. I respect the Asian culture and traditional values. People would be better off if they emulated the values.
