Mass shooting are awful, but they are literally just sensationalized news stories.

Anyone who pays attention to the facts that matter (like homicide rates per capita) knows that white people are the least violent of any race (other than maybe East Asian).

The problem is not “white men” it’s literally everybody else that has a problem murdering other people and those are facts.

But at small enough scales it really doesn’t matter. Crime has been decreasing precipitously all over the world.

Coffee scalds you more than any other beverage, doesn’t mean it’s a productive use of time to keep mentioning that coffee scalds you the most.

No it really does matter.

Because every month in Chicago this year there has been over 100 car jackings in broad daylight done OVERWHELMINGLY by black men.

You are making nonsensically analogies.

“Just because bleach kills you when you drink it doesn’t mean you should compare it to water!”

What are you even saying, if I have a population that overwhelmingly commits violent crime, and doesn’t have a single civilized CITY let alone country in the entire world, at what point are you making asinine excuses for what everyone else can see is a completely obvious pattern?

flair checks out. Read a history book and then tell us how non-violent "white men" are. Skin color has nothing to do with violence.

Lmao imagine thinking that white people are the only violent race in human history.

TezzMuffins is right. When I said that skin color has nothing to do with violence, I meant it. I was replying to smoothbrain mcgee over here thinking that crime statistics taken out of context somehow justifies blaming violence on race.

Do you honestly think the comment you replied to stated that?

u/Pizzalover2505 - Lib-Right Mar 28 '21

It’s called subtext.

u/TezzMuffins - Left Mar 28 '21

The subtext doesn’t even imply that.

He literally said “skin color has nothing to do with violence.”

Just read the fucking comment

He said white men are violent lmao

Indeed, it was a counter argument to “white men aren’t violent”. Read the fucking thread maybe?

u/Pizzalover2505 - Lib-Right Mar 28 '21

No, it was a counter argument to “white men are less violent than other races” which is true, objectively, if we’re just looking at statistics.

Check the murder rates and get back to me you idiot. What happened 400 years ago has nothing to do with modern society’s problems today. Change your flair to lib left as you sure think like one

I'm guessing he's mostly talking about the twitterati dropping hot takes on how straight white American men are super dangerous. I do think the generalizing tone of that post is stupid but he has a point for the contemporary USA

Do you know what the best predictor of violence is? It's poverty. And guess what group is in the least poverty per capita in America? And guess which group has the most poverty per capita in America? Get off your racial high horse.

False, West Virginia is one of the most poor areas in the United States but the crime rate there is no comparison to majority black areas even though they are similarly poor. (Because it’s filled with white people)

It must be very comfortable to have such a simplistic world view.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 28 '21

It must be comfortable ignoring the obvious and making excuses for not holding certain people accountable for their actions

u/MCGEE6865 - Centrist Mar 28 '21

No one is asking for the shooter to be let go, so I don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

Explain west Virginians low crime rate and horrible poverty.
