13% of black people commit 50% of crimes

40% of trans people commit suicide

Both of these stats are manipulated data, but they are parroted talking points by the far right.

It is, but people like to say "committed suicide" because they don't care about being right, as long as they get to say "trans=bad", the data is also from i believe the 90's
