Young Turks reveal the truth about USA Police Violence and it's roots.

The race of murderers was unknown 29.7% of the time in 2014.

Whites were 66.3% of the population in 2014, but were identified as the murderer 31.4% of the time.

Blacks were 19.5% of the population in 2014, but were identified as the murderer 37.2% of the time.

 

I was joking.

It was merely a mirror of the sentiment that somehow when something goes wrong in the US under Obama's reign, it's his fault.

 

I don't blame Obama for this problem. But I don't think he has helped in the slightest.

 

so are you trying to say blacks are more murderous or that blacks still have worse socio-economic conditions leading to a higher murder rate?

or that europes murder rate and excessive police shootings is lower overall not because of better gun laws and social systems but because there are less black people?

 

what things do you think have gone right (or better) as a result of obama?

 

Are you trying to highlight the entrenched flaws in the justice system and underlying racial biases? I mean, cool, agreed, just not exactly what I would expect based on your past posts.

 

Certainly you don't believe that entrenched flaws in the justice system are the one and only explanation for such a disparity in murder by race?

Osama Bin Laden was killed after President Obama gave the order to engage, in spite of hideout in Pakistan.

Being a good father, funding for women's health, green energy investments, exporting a chunk of illegals, and helping Syrian refugees.

It is very, very, very tough for me to compliment President Obama.

 

Nope, I think economic trends, legal structure, and personal racism also have plenty to do with it. You're quite right that there's more than one sociological element at play here.

 

Because your dislike of the establishment or you just dislike what he does for the country?

 

This just in: being poor makes you murder people.

 

I think more that being poor leads to more often resorting to illegal means of gaining wealth and power in the absence of funds to take the legal path.

 

If you are scum, sure. Otherwise you just live life and be happy. I was beyond poor when I was young. Wouldn't have had it any other way since I might have also missed some of the joy I experienced.

 

deep down half the people are scum, all it takes is oppertunity, and one bad day.

 

I, too, was dirt poor growing up. But, unlike every other poor person, I never even tried to murder anyone.

Weird, amirite?
