So what exactly did Wilder mean when he said "to this day"?

[bballchump11]

The charts lack info. What's a drug prisoner? Most drug users don't get locked up for drug offences, it's usually other offences they commit to pay for drugs.

I posted the charts because they're easy to read. I can post full studies on this as well. It's very consistent, and a known fact by this point. White people use drugs just as much as blacks do or more, but get arrested much less often and convicted less often.

Also the CIA specifically placed crack/******* in the black neighborhoods to fund wars while making the penalty for crack 10X that of *******. This was all systematic.

Then Richard Nixon admitted to starting the war on drugs in order to target his political enemies, which were hippies and blacks.

You can read some statistics here and they site multiple studies.

You could take from that study that white drug users are less likely to be criminals. That would support the other guy.

Okay, you asked for it:

Homicide (actual factual stats)

According to the US Department of Justice, African Americans accounted for 52.5% of all homicide offenders from 1980 to 2008, with European Americans 45.3% and "Other" 2.2%. The offending rate for African Americans was almost 8 times higher than European Americans, and the victim rate 6 times higher. Most homicides were intraracial, with 84% of European Americans victims killed by European Americans, and 93% of African Americans victims were killed by African Americans.[49][50][51]

In 2013, number and percentage of murder arrests by race were:

Black or African Americans 4,379 = 51.3%
White Americans (non-Hispanic Americans) 2,861 = 33.5%
Hispanic Americans 1,096 = 12.8%
American Indians or Alaska Natives 98 = 1.14%
Asian Americans 101 = 1.18%[52][53]

Blacks account for the majority of gun homicide victims/arrestees in the US while whites account for the vast majority of non-gun homicide victims/arrestees, of the gun murder victims in the United States between 2007-2016, 57% were black, 40.6% white (including Hispanic), 1.35% Asian, 0.98% unknown race and 0.48% Native American.

Non-gun homicides, represented about 30% of total murders in the time period. Blacks were still overrepresented although only by about 2.5x their share of the general population.[55] Of the non-gun murder victims in the United States between 2007-2016, 61.5% were white (including Hispanic), 32.9% black, 2.29% Asian, 1.89% unknown race and 1.43% Native American.[56]

Now, those are facts for you when whites out populate blacks by 6 to 1. There should be no way a race who is out numbered by 6 to 1 should commit more homicides so you can leave the mass shootings garbage back in your mouth because in comparison, it's completely irrelevant.

I wonder if you're making the wrong distinction. Have you ever thought that instead of separating this information by race, what if you separated it by economic status. I'm willing to bet poverty plays a major part in those statistics.

Unless you're trying to argue that there is something inherently criminal regarding black people.

But if it is related to poverty, then we'd have to find the percentage of blacks living in poverty, and explore the reasons for that.

Might take you some more research to get where you need to be, but fair is fair. Right?

against who? i'm mostly white.. and god isn't real..

im not racist in any way, i don't judge a person for the color of their skin. but i understand how the world works and the fact of the matter is colonialism isn't over, it is just swept under the rug.

in no way am i saying people of different races can't live together. i am just saying it isn't reasonable for black people to keep trying to be part of white society given the way we are treated.

the education, prison industrial complex, policing and much more simply isn't acceptable. instead of complaining we should take it into our own hands. how that makes me hateful i don't know.

basically you are saying anything other than white people having all the power in the world is racist. lol!

i suppose you have no hatred in your heart thinking black people should just leave these things in the hands of a people that have been oppressing us for 400 years. bottom line is the idea that we have to do things on your terms and put up with whatever you decide regardless how we feel is simply white supremacy, simple as that.

but i understand white people have fears of seeing other people rise to power given how you have treated us, the way white nations want to have weapons of mass destruction but are petrified of anyone else having them is perfect example.

people of color need to take power of our nations and communities not only for ourselves but to show white people what equality looks like. then we can live together under circumstances that work for everyone, not just you.

I identified your problem quite quickly. That explains why you're not a very good person. No need to read any further for me.

You obviously didn't read any of those charts or don't know how to piece together the information.

Lol @ charts made with Microsoft paint

So I was in the breakroom at work (work a warehouse job) and there must have been about 30 black guys in there with only 4 white guys. On tv when wilder got mad and started yelling "to this day" all of the black guys in the room started cheering and clapping and were just getting loud. Me and the other white dudes were quiet and didn't understand what was going on.

It was a very interesting moment. Everyone in the room seemed to be riled up.

I guess I'm still in the dark, cause i don't know what he meant.

Can anyone enlighten me?

Lmaooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
