Hi “Chantoya,”

So I noticed some red flags about this post and decided to run the profile pic through the ol’ reverse image search.

I realize you’re just some Groyper incel posing as a black woman in an attempt to sneak a “redpill” into my comment section, but I’ll respond to it anyway because I think this stuff needs to be challenged in some way at every level.

It’s actually not “twice as many”—it’s about six times as many—but you also have to account for the fact that there are eight times as many white people as black people. Why does that matter you say?

Let me introduce you to something called statistics and basic math.

White people experienced roughly 3.5 million “violent victimizations” from 2012–2015, while black people experienced about 684,000 during the same period.

Does that mean that white people were somehow more likely to be the victims of violet crime? No, of course not.

The number of violent crimes against white people was five times the number of violent crimes against black people, while white people make up 72 percent of the population.

Broken down in terms of rates of victimization per 1,000 population, then interracial rates of victimization are virtually identical.

Rates of violent crime by race of victim, offender:

White victim, white offender: 12 per 1,000

White victim, black offender: 3.1 per 1,000

Black victim, black offender: 16.5 per 1,000

Black victim, white offender: 2.8 per 1,000

Overall, interracial crimes have declined along with all other violent crimes, and they’re holding steady at a very low rate (with the exception of mass murders and other hate crimes by Neo-Nazi shitheads, which are on the rise.)

Take special note of how the interracial stats have fluctuated over the years. Some years black-white is higher; others white-black is higher.

So yeah, no. This shit might fly over on /pol/, which is full of gullible NEET failsons who don’t know how to read studies or interpret data, but this ain’t my first rodeo.
