There was a post on 4chan saying that black people get shot so often by the police because they wear loose pants. In short, it makes them look like they are trying to pull out a gun when they hold their pants and run away from the police.

It’s necessary for middle school reading. My issue with it is that it doesn’t provide any interesting or critical take on the situation. It’s a book written for white people that definitely has a place in the classroom but it’s more like a creative essay than an actual novel. Not much literary merit, one if the useful for children, shouldn’t be considered as representative of black intellectualism or artistry.

It sounds like a sympathy searching list of any perceived slight or microaggresshuun which fails to delineate the complexity of hate as a normal cognitive function of humanity and instead utilizes it as a bellwether for how the tolerance agenda is proceeding.

On a slightly related note, did anyone see the article in the LA Times today about rates of police searches and contraband?

The article stated that black and latinos are pulled over at much higher rates than whites (which is true) and that they were subject to searches at a higher rate than whites (also true).
However, whites were found to have contraband on them in 20% of searches, versus 17% for blacks and 16% for latinos. Wait, how come these innocent latinos and blacks are being searched more often? They have contraband on them LESS often than whites do!

Ok, let's do the math (recent 10 month period)
180,562 latinos were pulled over, 16.4% of them were searched, that's 29,251 searches. Of these, 16% had contraband, so 4,680 offending Latinos.

Blacks were pulled over 102,637 times, of these 23.6% were searched, so 24,222 searches of which 17% had contraband, for 4,117 offenders

Whites were pulled over 68,585 times and searched 5% of the time, 3,429 searches and contraband was found 20% of the time for 685 offenders.

Just to recap, that's 4,680 offending latinos, 4,117 blacks, and 685 whites.

The LA Times headline: LAPD searches blacks and latinos more. But they're less likely to have contraband than whites.

Whites _who are searched_ are more likely to have contraband on them than latinos or blacks _who are searched_.

only 5% of whites are searched, so you would expect the selectiveness to manifest in the results. if whites got pulled over and searched at the same rates, the % where contraband is found would surely go down.

the other thing we need to consider in these statistics is the people who are searched who have no contraband.

25,500 latinos
20,000 blacks
2,750 whites

a black person who gets pulled over and has no contraband has a 20% chance of being searched, a white person with no contraband has a 4% chance

>b-b-but the incidence is higher among black people
yes. therefore what? unlike you, i'm intelligent enough to distinguish people beyond their skin colour, so what use do i get from this generalisation? of course i profile people, not only by their race, but also their clothes, their posture and gait, the look in their eyes, their slovenliness, their accent and so on.

i would never let my ability to accurately profile somebody be compromised by "black = bad white = good" mentality. but that's because i'm not an insecure retard trying to ride the coattails of other people in my race who are capable of interpreting data.

i'm not going to reply to you again because you are strawmanning. i don't think you are even intentionally doing it. i think you are genuinely unable to have a discussion on a topic because you are so used to sniping at lowest-common-denominator SJWs and groupthinking with other white runts, you are intellectually incapable of interacting with somebody who isn't an ideologue.

That article talks about how likely poor whites vs rich blacks are to go to prison regardless of their crime rate, as one of the reedit posts points out.

It also says that
>the very wealthiest black youth — those whose household wealth in 1985 exceeded $69,000 in 2012 dollars — had a better chance of avoiding prison than the poorest white youth

But anyway, your argument doesn't work for a simple reason: Although there are more blacks who commit crimes than whites in America, the blacks who commit crimes are still an extreme minority of the black population (less than 2% I think). If it was true that blacks are inherently violent because of their genetics, this tendency would presumably manifest in the majority of them.

>Sarah Shannon and colleagues estimate that one-third of black men had a felony conviction in 2010—a significant increase over the past 30 years and far above the rate for white men. Published in Demography, the study develops national and state-level estimates for the frequency of both felony convictions and incarceration. The researchers found that the percentage of black men with a felony conviction increased from 13% in 1980 to 33% in 2010 (compared to 5% and 13% for all adult men during these periods, respectively). They also estimate that the percentage of black men who had experienced imprisonment increased from 6% in 1980 to 15% in 2010 (compared to 2% and 6% for all adult men during these periods, respectively).

I don't know, I personally find the endeavor to be revolting to some degree. Organically developed cultures and genetic populations are a thing of beauty and inspiration to me and true diversity would be allowing them to remain separated from each other and preserved. Deliberately trying to mongrelize them on a mass scale so that you can sell them products more easily and manipulate them psychologically is the stuff dystopias are made of. Tens of thousands of years of natural evolution undone by the work of man in a few hundred years specifically for the purpose of short sighted greed.

So my argument with the other anon was about whether the higher rate of black crime is based on genetics or other factors. And we were specifically talking about violent crimes, because he thought that blacks are savage creatures that cannot function in a normal society, much like the /pol/ caricature paints them to be.

Race is a much better predictor of crime than income. Removing blacks from the equation leaves the US with a gun crime rate similar to that of Switzerland and Europe. Race is a much better predictor of intelligence than poverty/income. Differences in evolutionary pressures can be intuitively reasoned to be responsible for this, after all, why would these pressures affect every area of the body besides the brain? To support this, we are beginning to find genes for intelligence that are much more prevalent in whites than blacks. This not only supports the genetic hypothesis but gives direct causality, which is rare in human statistics. Usually correlations are the best we have. Look up black children and the mirror test. Something like 40-80% of the variation is intelligence is explained by genetic factors. When every piece of evidence points in the direction of a genetic explanation, one should go with what is supported the most.

>Plus violent crime doesn't mean anything. Some drug and rape arrests that are deemed violent aren't actually violent [...]
Most recent US stats show black committing 54% of murders when the race is known.

>he thought that blacks are savage creatures that cannot function in a normal society,

I don’t think you’ll find the 2% statistic as it likely doesn’t exist. What you however can easily find is the statistic that states that one-third of black men in the US have a felony conviction. 33% of black men have been convicted of a serious criminal offense. Some of this can be explained by poverty, by disproportionate policing, by plain old-fashioned racial prejudice, etc., but certainly not all of it. In almost all violent crime categories blacks are disproportionate offenders. If this isn’t due to genetics (and I’m not saying it is), then it’s certainly due to culture.
