You'd need per capita figures before you start profiling.
So no, I don't advocate profiling here as the data needed to justify it is not here.
When/If you provide the per capita numbers, then I'll tell you if profiling is warranted.

This is the paragraph you just pasted:
"Statistics show that since 1982, the majority of mass shootings — 54 percent — were committed by white men, according to data from Mother Jones. Black people were the second largest perpetrators of mass shootings based on ethnic background, but only accounted for roughly 16 percent of the total incidents during the same time period."
That would indicate whites (have averaged well over 54% of the population since 1982) are underrepresented in mass killings while blacks (have averaged under 14% of the population since 1982) are over-represented.
Of course I'm not mentioning the black murder rate at large. Most of the entire US murder rate is black & if you subtract them the US would have one of the lowest murder rates in the world. That goes without saying.
But your stats show that even in mass killings, blacks have a higher per-capita rate.Last edited by ////; 10-03-2017, 12:49 PM.

I think it's a good rule of thumb whenever killings like this happen to first look to blame The Powers That Be.
However, not everything bad that happens is their fault and sometimes the cause is something else.
In this case I'm not sure what they would have to gain. Unless it's an attempt to push for disarming more Americans...we'll find out in the next few weeks.Last edited by ShoulderRoll; 10-03-2017, 06:01 PM.

The white population is 74%. White males make up 49.1% of that. Out of that 49.1 percent what is the percent of Adult white males?

Originally posted by Motorcity Cobra View PostAdult White males have committed 54% of mass murders but you use the white population as a whole? Why not use the population of white males? What is the percentage of adult white males?

And that's not even taking into account the mass murders committed by white people against black communities & indigenous people in America. Taking that into account this wouldn't even rank in the top 5 a mass murder committed by white males.
