Anyone else on here know the saying “it’s silly season”?That was always our excuse for people acting like fools before elections.0

Mass shooters are not disproportionately white compared to population.
The data varies because the definition of a mass shooter can vary. But it’s typically between about 35-55% are white. And yes, whites are usually the largest single group of mass shooters. But may have noticed, the majority of the country is also white, so this doesn’t mean it’s a “white” problem.
Here’s one example:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/interactive/mass-shootings/shooters/
“Most shooters and accused shooters are either White (38 percent) or Black (29 percent), followed by Hispanic/Latino (14 percent), ”And it’s true most crime is between like races. But, when it is not, black on white homicide is about double that compared to white on black. And white-white is roughly equal to black-black, despite the large difference in population.

I’ve said before, I think race plays almost no role in crime. It’s social economics, family status, etc among other factors that don’t effect races equally that have an impact on crime.0 -

It’s so strange how people agree when it suits them and disagree when it doesn’t. So the 2016 stats are from the FBI but I thought the FBI was corrupt? So the FBI wasn’t corrupt in 2016 under Obama and Biden? I’m so confused (not really). Maybe we need to post the most recent stats for everyone so we can get to the bottom of it instead of just posting when it fits our narrative.And hey, let’s stop blaming the blacks for their lack of population in our country. They didn’t bring themselves here like the Indians (who by the way were eliminated by the whites). And their birth rates aren’t as high because, well quite simply we just don’t give a crap do we? And maybe if the KKK wouldn’t have swung them from the trees and burned and eliminated black wall street their numbers would equal ours. I know I won’t see it but the day when there are no more “pure white” people can’t come soon enough.0

But when citing data, it is relevant to compare their population to the crime. I mean, I bet 99.9% of crime is China is by Asians. So are we to assume the Asians in China are just really bad, or just understand there isn’t much diversity there?Post edited by mace1229 on0 -

But I will say you are correct in that you have not done anything wrong. I was trying to add to the conversation as well, and if you thought I was attacking you then you must have interpreted a tone that wasn’t meant to be there. So no need to apologize.
You are also correct that I am sometimes guilty of not reading the entire post. At first anyway. I sometimes respond to part, then finish reason. You can see that when I have multiple replies in a row like I just did. thats just because I’ll forget what I want to say if I keep reading, but I always try to go back and finish.
I thought my bringing up the FBI in a reply to my you were implying that’s what I’ve said. But I get it, I’ve replied to multiple people/posts in a single reply before. But even then I generally don’t think you are attacking me, so I’m not trying to attack back. We've had differences before, but for the most part I don’t think that’s the case and consider part of a discussion.
Its easy to see you are passionate about what you believe and that’s easy to admire, even if I disagree.0 -

sorry, the per-capita excuse doesn’t fit my narrative .I didn’t highlight the per capita data, I highlighted the intraracial homicide percentages. Making the point that both black and white americans seem to have a skewed perception of the danger one poses to the other.
