U never here these stats from the news media and they do not broadcast the names of whites and brown people....the left liberal media were going to show that more blacks were killed then white ....they could not find any stats to prove them right.
Wait until an actuary like Jim sees this and tells you that just looking at raw #s like your doing is totally wrong. Break it down by per 1,000 and then it might have some validity.

Of course you are correct. Blacks are what, 15% of the population, but are 28% of the people killed by cops?

Paul, I'm honest enough to immediately concede that blacks are disproportionately killed by cops, disproportionately pulled over, and disproportionately put in prison. Those are irrefutable facts.

Here's where I presume you and I differ. I don't think you can look at the data, and conclude that cop racism is responsible for all of the discrepancies. If blacks disproportionately commit violent crimes (for some cultural or socioeconomic reason), that would also explain the data. That's what I think is the driving force here, so naturally (as a problem-solver) that's where I feel we should direct much of our energy and funds. But we don't. We blame whitey. And the results (which are tragic both for blacks and for white cops) speak for themselves.

What do you think? Too much hate in there? Or is there any rational common sense?

I knew someone would mention the per, not going to mention that but the tide is turning....non white babies being born in the last few years have out numbered whites.....the fastest growing population in the U.S. are Asians....another thing, jim is hung up on black babies being born out of wedlock, so R white babies....the millennials(16-35) prefer to have babies out of wedlockthis includes all races....

Come on. Not in anywhere near the same percentages. 75% of black babies are born out of wedlock. Given that blacks are disproportionately poor to begin with, this guarantees a continued downward spiral for them. And it guarantees that large numbers of them will turn toward violence.

Remember Perdue the chicken man....his down fall was using percentages and charts.....

So based on this statement, any child born outside of wedlock is fine as long as its not black, in which case its guaranteed a violent life that spirals downward?

Please tell me this statement was a mistake, because otherwise it seems like you're begging someone to bend their view of out-of-wedlock childbirth to a very racist viewpoint.

Like I said, I'm hoping the way you worded your response wasn't as you intended it.

Boy do you need to take reading comprehension. First, you thought I said every single black person is guilty of killing other blacks. Now, somehow, you are concluding that I said that it's fine for white babies to be born out of wedlock.

What I am saying (in fact, what I explicitly said) is that out-of-wedlock births are particularly destructive for blacks, because they are disproportionately poor. The wealthier a woman is, the more likely it is they can effectively raise a child by themselves, because they can afford more help (nannies, tutors, etc). The ramifications of large-scale single parenting are well documented. Just because the conclusions don't serve the liberal agenda, doesn't make it racist.

Is that really going too fast for you?

The speed it's traveling at isn't my problem, it's the circles it keeps traveling in that I'm having trouble keeping up with, damn centrifugal force!
