  1. Pure speculation.I'll stick to official law enforcement stats

  2. You seem perfectly peaceful, and want to generalize about individuals because of their skin color, which is perfectly reasonable -- as reasonable as generalizing about individuals because of their gender.

  3. Why is the educated latino or black person commit less crime than the uneducated latino or black person? No brown or black skin or race/genes to blame.

  6. It's absolutely true. I said that blacks are 7-800% more likely. Blacks are 12% of the population. When you do the math on the stats, given that they are 12% of the population, you will see that the mathematical fact is that they are 7-800% more likely (or 7-8x more likely) to commit violent crime. Also, your cherry picked stats conveniently do not include murder or rape. There are several other factors that go into cherry picking statistics. Anyhow, I'll post links to an extensive study shortly.

    Police and the justice system are not biased against minorities.
    Crime Rates

    Blacks are seven times more likely than people of other races to commit murder, and eight times more likely to commit robbery.
    When blacks commit crimes of violence, they are nearly three times more likely than non-blacks to use a gun, and more than twice as likely to use a knife.
    Hispanics commit violent crimes at roughly three times the white rate, and Asians commit violent crimes at about one quarter the white rate.
    The single best indicator of violent crime levels in an area is the percentage of the population that is black and Hispanic.
    Interracial Crime

    Of the nearly 770,000 violent interracial crimes committed every year involving blacks and whites, blacks commit 85 percent and whites commit 15 percent.
    Blacks commit more violent crime against whites than against blacks. Forty-five percent of their victims are white, 43 percent are black, and 10 percent are Hispanic. When whites commit violent crime, only three percent of their victims are black.
    Blacks are an estimated 39 times more likely to commit a violent crime against a white than vice versa, and 136 times more likely to commit robbery.
    Blacks are 2.25 times more likely to commit officially-designated hate crimes against whites than vice versa.
    Gangs

    Only 10 percent of youth gang members are white.
    Hispanics are 19 times more likely than whites to be members of youth gangs. Blacks are 15 times more likely, and Asians are nine times more likely.
    Incarceration

    Between 1980 and 2003 the US incarceration rate more than tripled, from 139 to 482 per 100,000, and the number of prisoners increased from 320,000 to 1.39 million.
    Blacks are seven times more likely to be in prison than whites. Hispanics are three times more likely.

  7. I didn't generalize about any individual man or woman. I cited statistical and mathematical facts about a specific group of people. The same way we study large bodies of data about any other group or topic. From subatomic particles, to molecules, to animal migration patterns, to financial markets, to gene sequences to any other facet of human life. My statement was about group averages, not any individual man or woman, which is what you are accusing me of. If you don't like the data, I'm sorry but that doesn't eliminate it's existence. In fact I agreed with your statements about males, and offered reasonable explanations for them, even though they were off topic. If you have nothing constructive to add, please cease participation. If you can participate in a civil tone and be forthright and honest about your views, by all means do so. These immature means of illustrating points which have so far just damaged your position, and reinforced mine in this debate are a waste of time for us both. Play direct, or don't play. Thanks.

    These kinds of stats are typical for all bottom tier socio-economic groups in highly stratified societies. And there are definitely more factors in play than just income. Crowding and noise are correlated. Maybe even wind, too, lol, as some have hypothesized as a way to explain why Rock Springs, WY, was once the per-capita murder capital of the US.

  10. Hispanics are included as white in your chart.
