Living In The Bronx

[Speaker to Animals]

The funny part is that I guaranfuckingtee there are more guns down the way from my condos than there are in a similar area in Chicago. I hear gunshots themselves almost every day. Everybody loves to shoot.

Weirdly, nobody is getting murdered. Nobody is getting robbed. Nobody is getting raped. Indeed, it would be a very, very bad idea to come around here to attempt any of that shit.

This is hilarious. Some of the most violent criminals in NYC are in Howard Beach, brighton beach, and Todt Hill - entirely white and affluent areas. Sorry, sta, you'll have to start a make Chicago crime white again. Maybe Al will come back.

Uh.. no. I am looking at the FBI crime stats. Black people are FAR more likely to commit violent crime than any other racial demographic. By quite a lot, actually, even when you remove poverty from the equation. Poor whites don't commit violent crime at comparable rates to poor blacks. In fact, affluent blacks are more likely to commit violent crimes than poor whites.

This is ridiculous. The data is right there. We can argue about why blacks are so much more likely to commit violent crime in America all day. That's fine. But to argue the plain fact of the matter rather than the why of it.. that's ludicrous.

There is a liberal socialist Harvard professor getting excoriated by the rabid left right now for pointing out this fact.

Pertinent,

Here's a third fact that is just not controversial, although it sounds controversial, and that is that different ethnic groups commit violent crimes at different rates. You can go to the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Look it up on their website. The homicide rate among African Americans is about seven or eight times higher than it is among European Americans. And terrorism, go to the Global Terrorist Database, and you find that worldwide the overwhelming majority of suicide terrorist acts are committed by Islamist extremist groups.

The Left’s Smearing of Steven Pinker

He, like Sam Harris and other freethinkers, faces the daunting task of being ever-vigilant about saying anything that can be extracted from the larger context and used against him. The headhunters are just waiting for their chance to have a go at him. What really irks his innumerable critics is that he breaks an Authoritarian Left taboo with his willingness to cite statistics about certain protected demographic groups. Perhaps he feels that’s his job as a university professor.

For example, Pinker will state that the rate of violent crime is higher among black people than other races. He does not do this to imply blacks are more inherently violent than whites, due simply to their skin color, but rather to start a discussion of what societal and cultural issues are behind the phenomenon, and what can be done to change it. Progress isn’t possible without an objective analysis of the relevant data, painful as it may be.

The point of his remarks was to point out that it is liberals like milspecs and brewster who are driving people to the alt-right.

Now let's say that you have never even heard anyone mention these facts. The first time you hear them, you're apt to say, number one, the truth has been withheld from me by universities, by mainstream media, and, moreover, you will be vindicated when people who voice these truths are suppressed, shouted down, assaulted, all the more reason to believe that the Left, that the mainstream media, that universities can't handle the truth. So, you get vindicated over and over again, but, worst of all, you're never exposed to the ways of putting these facts into context so that they don't lead to racism and sexism and extreme forms of Anarcho-Libertarianism. So, the politically correct Left is doing itself an enormous disservice when it renders certain topics undiscussable, especially when the facts are clearly behind them because they leave people defenseless the first time they hear them against the most extreme and indefensible conclusions possible. If they were exposed, then the rationale for putting them into proper political and moral context could also be articulated, and I don't think you would have quite the extreme backlash.

[MilSpecs]

Rational discourse about purported statistics are fine. I question why the most violent rhetoric on this board comes from people who are stating that I should worry about violence coming from black folks. Since you are all about the statistics, tell me, who commits the vast majority of violent crime in the U.S.? What can we do to stop the causes of violence in these people?

[Speaker to Animals]

Violent rhetoric?

OMFG this place is a dumpster fire today.

[MilSpecs]

Do you need a definition? You spend half your time here threatening dire implications of violence for the majority of the population. Let's see, so far it's been black people, women, immigrants, the northeast, mothers, civilians, and the state of California, just to name a few.

I have not threatened these people. LOL

I am laughing my ass off today at people in this forum.

Violent rhetoric is as American as apple pie and baseball, without violent rhetoric, it would just be a giant Canada without public health insurance.

If you want the Queen's Peace, you know where to go.
