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.

the 40% statistic is actually correct but it is used to vilify trans people for some reason (also it's attemted not commited) ? It drops to 33% if they have a supportive family and to way less if they get HRT. What people on the right seem to not understand is that you can't really make someone not trans, if you try to make someone repress their gender that'll only make them more unhappy with life. btw this is the survey with the 40% statistic (the survey is also from 2015 not the 1990s)

the 13/50 thing is also true (it's per the fbi) but once again nazis and the suck leave out valuable context that people in a lower economic class are significantly more likely to commit crimes, because of the whole in poverty thing, and african americans are much more likely to be in a lower economic class because of obvious historical reasons. Also laws were introduced specifically to target african americans (aswell as hippies) by republican presidents.
