When Anita Sarkeesian claimed that Hollywood was discriminating against black people 'cos only 15 percent of the people in the films were black, I called bullshit.

When I come across a figure that show how the average white guy has a low murder rate for black people, I call bullshit for exactly the same reason. Odd thing is however, you really dont have to do it. Black people murder about half the people in america desipite being only ~15% of the population. When you look at it a little harder, you find that white people have a bias for killing white people, and black people the same. This is probably mostly driven by the racial inhomogeneities of America. However where it gets really fascinating is on the murder rates by gender. Here there are no demographic inhomogeneities yet it turns out that both men and women have about a 75% preference for killing men over women! The bottom line is, if you are an Asian women, you are pretty much the least likely person to get murdered in America!

I sure everyone knows this by now but the “White People “ subset in FBI and most crime statistics include Latino.And if you go to the Wikipedia article and look at the chart that covers 2010 prison population you will see that White (non-Hispanic) are 75% Hispanic 17% and Black 12% .Which adds up to 104% meaning Asians and others take up -4% of matter!Just kidding ,this policy is yet another example of how Government hides and confuses actual Race/Crime data leading to arguments with people who digest the wrong information in the first place.GIGO Humans! <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_crime_in_the_United_States" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_crime_in_the_United_States</a>

"Now, you do have to be careful, with simple interpretations of data like this." This content is different than anticipated, and seems outside of your areas of expertise. With something like the definitions of laws being primarily defined by a dominant race, there is bias. Another example of bias, the business an individual works for may be charged, or alter the nature of charges in what would otherwise be considered a murder. With access to effective legal counsel being tied to the economics that reduce mass murder to class-action lawsuits, the issues here are far more skewed than your presentation suggests. The impetus of the video seems a bit ironic, in that context. Maybe I have missed some attempt at humor.

I totally agree that black folks should be willing to take on the backwardness in their own communities. However, I think there's something especially pernicious when it comes to police brutality or any state mandated violence against innocent people. Police tend to patrol more aggressively in black neighborhoods and not without good reason; crime is much more common. At the same time, as an innocent black person, it's got to suck to think you're being profiled for the benefit of every other community. And to add insult to injury, nobody seems to offer innocent blacks any sort of recognition for putting up with more aggressive policing so that society as a whole can enjoy lower crime rates. Rather, lots of folks take a "collective punishment" line, where an innocent black guy is to some extent responsible for the fact that blacks as a whole commit crimes more frequently. I can at least appreciate the fear and general discontent of an innocent black person as a consequence of these dynamics.

The problem with this data is that you are not looking at commissions of murders, you are looking at convictions of murders. There's a difference. You can commit a murder and never be convicted, and you can also be convicted of murder without ever having committed one. A recent study showed that even though white and black people are equally likely to use marijuana, black people are 4 times more likely to be convicted of marijuana crimes. Not only that, but even though black people make up 15% of the population, they make up 50% of those exonerated from death row after being proved innocent - and that stat is based on KNOWN innocent people, the kind who could get a new trial and somehow get a lawyer to plea their case. There could be many more that simply rot in jail without ever being exonerated. The point is, the "stats" you are presenting incorrectly can contribute to the disparity. If you just went by the numbers without knowing the inherent biases in the system, you might get the impression that blacks are 4 times as likely to use drugs and 5 times as likely to murder, then maybe as a police officer you look at black people more suspiciously. Maybe as a result you stop and search them more often. And since whites and blacks are equally likely to have marijuana, then if you stop blacks more often - you're gonna find weed on them more often. Apparently 4 times more often. By the same token if the "stats" show black people are 5 times as likely to murder, then maybe as a member of a jury you are willing to accept circumstantial evidence against a black defendant, but would need more concrete proof against a white one. Thus leading to the higher conviction rate for blacks - even when they are innocent.
