Yes, we DO have to point out demographics because that is COMPLETELY off-limits for the Left in this context.
And we have to resign ourselves to the fact that their only response will be to scream "RACIST!!" at us.
Of course, an obvious supplement to a demographics-based argument would be to invoke States like Utah, Nevada, Maine...states with tiny black populations and...SURPRISE! tiny murder rates.
None of this will make any impact because to admit that this is true would then require that the question be asked: "WHY?"
Which would bring up things like President Johnson's 'Great Society' programs which primarily served to destroy black families. Prior to the 1960's, black families were overwhelmingly solid, two-parent Christian households with very low levels of illegitimacy and criminality. The Great Society changed all that, incentivizing single-parent families and producing untold millions of children with no father figure in their lives, no discipline and far less church membership than what had been the norm.
I'm thinking that at this point in time, an Ann Coulter column outlining the Leftist policies that have destroyed black families would be QUITE popular...and VERY needed.
I just saw a thread on Twitter about a black man who got into a dispute and pulled a gun. a white off-duty fire fighter intervened and disarmed the thug. during the struggle, the black man dropped the gun and his girlfriend picked it up, then shot and killed the fire fighter.
the girl wasn't charged because it was declared "self-defense". she should have been charged as an accessory to whatever charges the black thug SHOULD have faced, and they both should have been charged with murder (because the crime led to someone's death). I wonder if the black man was ultimately charged with anything? and was the gun legal?
there are a LOT of black people commenting in the thread... the white guy should have minded his own business, the black guy wasn't doing anything, the girlfriend was defending her boyfriend who was being attacked. the white guy deserved it. the only reason anyone cares is because it was the white guy who died. and so on. defending the thug and his crime because he's black and condemning the fire fighter because he's white (and had the audacity to stop the black man from committing a crime).
my question is... are they just defending the thug because he's black? is it based in their racism toward the white guy? or do these comments actually reflect the black community's attitude toward crime? just mind your own business? hope you're not the one getting robbed or shot?
or maybe it's a little bit of both?
I have to think (hope) that if the fire fighter had not been white they'd be more outraged and blame the thug who pulled the gun? then again, maybe I'd be wrong... I keep reading that most murders occur between black people (perp and victim).
The truth will not set you free in Leftopia but instead get you in trouble with the Truthophobes. Here's a photo of all the liberals moving into predominantly black communities to get more diversity for themselves and their children--> <--
The number lists are OK, but do not show the correlation very well. I made a plot of murder rates vertical and Black population horizontal for the top 10 Black states + California, based on this article, and they line up substantially; more Black population has more murders, generally. Virginia is #9 in Black population and the only one listed not in the top 20 murder rates so does not mess up the plot; I am happy to live in Virginia! What I want is a plot showing all 50 states + DC (not just those with highest Black count), Black population vs murder rate. Each plot point should be identified by 2-letter code (CA, VA etc.) and color coded red or blue depending on the most recent presidential election.
@monitoringbias just posted to Twitter this tragic chart of relative homicide rates among whites and blacks in America generally and in a couple dozen of our larger cities. Dan Ciruli must have missed it.
My mother's town from her childhood used to be a great place, but now as a bunch of ethnic Korean Chinese people were permitted to immigrate massively by the South Korean government, it's now a haven for gangs after majority of them settled there. They're both ethnic Koreans, but differences in culture and lifestyle (since most came from incredibly poor, decrepit communities with no moral values) lead to significant changes in a community. Is pointing this out racist?? People are too stupid to figure out that we're not saying blacks commit crime cuz of their skin color, but a dysfunction in their culture and community at large.

Liberal supremacists need identity politics as much as they cling to their TDS.
What are they going to do if Americans figure it all out by 2024. Or maybe even --- 2022 ( mid terms) ?!
But yes! It's currently ' instyle ' Tobe a brainwashed, indoctrinated, pea brain.
See retards who willingly voted for JoeKer Biden and John Fetterman aka ' uncle Fester '.
It is impolite and an infringement on a person’s civil liberties to use the word “retard”.
Perhaps a lesson in watered down crime policies and anger management would be a benefit to some.
Thank you for sharing concrete data and your perspective Ann.
Communist channel and Communist rag pundits should work for CompStat because they are masters at juking the stats.

I wonder what makes Virginia such an outlier? Are Maryland and Virginia residents going into DC to commit crimes? How are DC murder rates counted?
