Skewed data on black on black and white on white crimes

There's someone here on LP who's name I won't mention, but we know who he is, is confusing people with skewed data.

Below is an excerpt by a person who knows the real numbers according to PER CAPITA.

 

What's the difference between black on black crime and white on white crime? Nothing, inherently. But it is far more problematic because it is far more prevalent.

Blacks compose 13% of the American population. They commit 28% of all crimes, over a third of violent crimes, and half of all homicides and robberies.

13% of the population vs 50% of homicides means that they're not only much more likely to commit homicides, but that others are much less likely to do so - the other 87% of the population only commits 50% of the homicides, thus the black homicide rate is nearly eight times higher than the white homicide rate. And note that the white homicide rate includes hispanic illegal immigrants, who commit crimes at a much higher rate than native born hispanics and whites.

The reason that blacks are arrested more often than whites on a per-capita basis is because they're more likely to commit crimes on a per-capita basis. The question is not the per capita rate, but the per-crime rate - that is to say, if blacks commit 28% of all crimes, they should compose 28% of all arrests. Blacks compose 26% of all juvenile arrests, which is what you would expect if they commit 28% of all crimes. That's not indicative of racism.

This is why anyone who whines about the racism of the system understands nothing. To prove racism, you must prove that they are being unfairly singled out. But people have done numerous studies and failed to find any signs of this. For isntance, blacks are frequently noted as being stopped more often than whites are - but they're also noted as being arrested for committing some crime more often than whites are when they're stopped, which means that they aren't being unfairly singled out, and if anything, innocent white people are unnecessarily stopped by police more often than blacks.

The primary threat posed to blacks isn't white people - it is other black people. Worrying about what whites are doing to them is nonsensical - it is not the whites who are robbing them, raping them, murdering them, or setting their stores on fire.

The idea that white oppression is responsible for this is racist nonsense. How are whites responsible for Brown shoving a store clerk, then attacking a cop? They're not. Nor are black people in general, for that matter - that entirely falls on Brown's shoulders.

But the looting, the rioting, the making-up of stories, people telling people not to talk to cops... that lies on the shoulders of the black community. Whites can't fix that, because they're seen as outsiders.

Brown died because he was a criminal. The fact that the cop was white was wholly irrelevant to the situation.

The Real reason For Gravity

I just thought about this. Despite everything some of us know about gravity, and the "wells" it causes in space time, there's even a more compelling reason why gravity exists. 

Since the Big bang, everything is accelerating. Not until recent history has science thought otherwise. They used to think the Universe would fall back in on itself. but later studies showed otherwise. The Universe is expanding.

Gravity on Earth is nothing more then the Earth, Solar System, Galaxy, and bundles of Galaxies rushing away from each other at unbelievable speeds. And since gravity is a weak force according to the contemporary scientists, only the strongest part is felt, which is us beng pulled towards the ground; like a speeding car from zero to 60, but never ending.

Gravity is like sitting in a car that never stops accelerating.

Partial Solar eclipse on Thursday October 23 can be seen in North America

The more north and west you live in this country, the more the sun will be blocked. About 80% of the sun will be blocked in the north western regions.

Just in case some viewers may not know, please DO NOT look at the eclipse with the naked eye. There are a few ways to look at it safely, look it up on the net.

Anyone know how to contact a seller on Amazon?

I just bought a P-3 lottery system on Amazon, but the examples of winning numbers don't match his descriptions. In other words, he'll write that 061 won on a date and then write that the next draw, the winning number was 232. But when I reference back to his list of winning numbers, there is no 232 on that list. 

If that one list had typos, I'd have no problem because he states that he'll be giving many more examples. However, just about every other list in his examples have typos too, so trying to follow examples is hard.

The only solution I came up with was to simply insert the correct number on the list. But that's easier said than done. The list of the winning numbers don't have dates next to them. To make things worse, sometimes the flow of oldest to newest winning numbers go from up to down, and others go from down to up. 

I wish I had some hair to pull. lol

Mexican crossing border

A Mexican is crossing the border when an officer tells him that he'll allow him in If he can make a complete sentence in English. The officer tells him to put the words "Green" "Pink" and "Yellow in a sentence.

The Mexican thinks for a moment and says I'm ready. He tells the officer "The telephone goes GREEN GREEN GREEN, I PINK up the telephone, and I say "YELLOW".

My roommate passed away

I just spoke with him yesterday around 10 am when i made him something to eat. Then about an hour later he was mumbling something about his medication being short from the Pharmacy.

He's had a stroke about 3 years ago and an enlarged heart, gained a lot of weight and had trouble moving around, so i drove him to the drug store and food shopping every week.

Around 4pm yesterday, he asked me to piick him up a pint of rum to help him sleep, but never took it. So around 7 pm, I looked and he was sleeping in his room naked, but he's done that before when he sleeps on the meds, so I thought nothing of it and closed the door. 

He usually feeds the dog in the morning around 7am and walks her. But he didn't so around 9 am I fed the dog and took her out in the back so she can poop. So around 3 pm I noticed that he was still sleeping which was unusual because like i said he complained of no sleep, So i called on him and he didn't answer, yelled his name but nothing. So i went to touch him and he was cold to the touch, and his stomach wan't moving up and down. I freaked cause ive never seen a dead body in person before. 

I called the police and now they just left about a half hour ago. The poor dog is licking his nose and crying. Waiting for the relatives to come by. 

So sad, but Im still shaken up. so weird. He never complained about something being wrong.
