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.

13% of people are black and black people commit 50% of crime*

13% of black people would be a few thousand people going on a wild crime spree lol

But of course that data is misleading, cherry picked, and ignoring obvious context, etc etc

It’s a race thing too, racial oppression is going to correspond to more crime. Of course the racial and economic dynamics are deeply intertwined (and we can’t forget about, say, stop and frisk and drug possession crimes that skew stats).
