[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You do not need any skill at statistics to see that if twice as many white people as black people are killed by officers but there are five times as many white people as black people, that black people are killed at a disproportionate rate. That's simple math.[/quote]

But it IS proportional to the crime rate for each race.  When you adjust for that, it's an equal number of white people as black people being killed.  I looked this up the other day but don't know what to say about it.  Not exactly the type of thing you put on facebook when you and a large chunk of your friends are liberal.  [/quote]

Afraid of what people will say about you when you tell the truth?  Why associate with those people?[/quote]

Not the PP, but I'm in the same boat.  The reason I associate with "those people" is because they're my friends and overall extremely nice people.  People can be passionately wrong about an issue (both sides) and still be good human beings who are worth being around.[/quote]

If they would reject you or humiliate you because you bring up a factual statistic, then they are not good people. I don't get rejected from my conservative friends when we disagree politically - and we sometimes do. [/quote]
