    Not really, no. Are we not being told the police are a roving gang of racists going around killing black men?

    SJW cant decide either they are roaming gang of thugs just killing people at random. Or Racist targeting a minority, Even though stats do not show this.

    ....brought to you by the (originally titled) Conservative News Service, whose impartial founder referred to Barack Obama as looking like a "skinny ghetto crackhead".

    All these are predominantly white/in the Appalachia region.

    You missed these bits.
    Three of these counties (Ziebach, Shannon and Todd) are located largely within the Cheyenne River, Pine Ridge and Rosebud Indian reservations in South Dakota.

    Are Native Americans white?
    Crowley County, Colo., had the distinction of being home to the highest percentage of incarcerated prisoners of any county in the U.S.

    Nearly half of Crowley County's population live in the state prison that's located there.

    Lies, damned lies, and statistics.

    Do you dispute that these county's are the poorest in America? Or that they are predominantly white/in the Appalachia region? What are you disputing here?

    Irelands juvenile prison population is located near me. All the offenders are not from here. You realise that people jailed in a particular location are not all from that location, right?
    More recent data, published in 2011, estimated that 48.1 percent of the county's residents lived in poverty, and of 3,197 counties ranked by the U.S. Census Bureau in 2011 for "estimated percent of people of all ages in poverty", Crowley was second
    The racial makeup of the county was 82.95% White, 7.05% Black or African American, 2.59% Native American, 0.82% Asian, 0.02% Pacific Islander, 4.77% from other races, and 1.81% from two or more races. 22.54% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race.

    More whites live in poverty than blacks.
    The 'evidence' you posted doesn't show that.

    Hilarious that we let you into the country when you obviously dislike white people.
    Terrified whitey would be funny if he weren't so dangerous.

    Dislike whitey. Move to Ireland. Makes sense.

    A man comes into contact with the police ends up in hospital with severe spinal cord injuries crushed voice box and his neck broken and people want to whine about black on white crime white on black crime stats.

    The cops weren't racist in what they did, they were just f**king brutal the only racists I see are on this thread.

    Disgusting.

    Thread should be locked it ain't about Freddy Gray dying in police custody it's cheap crime statistical points scoring.

    The statistics (you've randomly cobbled together or copied from a dodgy site) likely count the prison population
    as resident in the county which vastly distorts the median levels of poverty.

    Lies, damned lies, and statistics.

    Where was the rioting after Abbeylara? (who was not a criminal)

    Abbylara? I was talking about impoverished racial minorities in the usa.

    I don't think a village in county longford has many comparasons to the ghetto.

    Or maybe it does???

    More whites live in poverty than blacks.

    From that very source:
    Racial and ethnic minorities, women, children, and families headed by single women are particularly vulnerable to poverty and deep poverty.

    You're really making it easy for me to shred the pseudo-scientific bullshit.

    Next.

    you forgot to remove the % sign when you removed the percentages there.

    Lets look at the context on the actual link (not your data shorn of context):
    Blacks and Hispanics are more likely than whites to be poor, and to be in poverty and deep poverty.
    Census figures reveal a stark contrast in the percentages of non-Hispanic whites living in poverty as compared to Hispanics and blacks. In 2012, 9.7% of non-Hispanic whites (18.9 million) were living in poverty, while over a quarter of Hispanics (13.6 million), and 27.2% of blacks (10.9 million) were living in poverty.
    The figures are more dismal when looking at the rates for deep poverty. Compared to non-Hispanic whites, Hispanics are more than twice as likely to live in deep poverty, and blacks are almost three times more likely to live in deep poverty. In 2012, 12.7% of blacks (almost 5.1 million), 10.1% of Hispanics (almost 5.4 million), and 4.3% (8.4 million) of non-Hispanic whites were living in deep poverty.

    Is 18.9 million greater than 10.9 million? If so, there are 8 million more whites in poverty than blacks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,115 ✭✭✭✭Junkyard Tom


    It's not just the US. Black people are vastly over represented in the UKs violent crime stats too.

    Why is that do you think?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 24,461 ✭✭✭✭darkpagandeath


    Why is that do you think?

    Well it's not just poverty. What are the gang stats from both countries ?

    My claim was that there are more whites(18.9 million) in poverty than blacks(10.9 million). My calculator says that this claim was correct. What does yours say?

    Here you go. It has been verified and (as the article says) wasn't exactly a secret.

    So, after Ferguson MO, the eyes of the world were on Baltimore, wondering whether any lessons had been learned. Would the people there learn from the mistakes already made many times over, and refrain from looting and burning their own town? No, they wouldn't. It's really hard to have any sympathy for people who do not learn.

    The justice department investigation into the abuses of the various police forces in saint Louis county would never have taken place had the violence not occurred.

    If anything has been learned its that the establishment wont pay any attention unless its in their face on the evening news.

    As a percentage of the respective populations how does that work out? Where do mixed race people come into all of this? Are they only half as likely to end up in the justice system? If not why not?

    Are you beginning to feel embarrassed yet?

    When all else fails go on a tangent, Data has been presented do people have data to refute it ?

    Are you? Are you denying that there are more whites(18.9 million) in poverty than black(10.9 million). I claimed that there are more whites in poverty than blacks. This claim is correct. Invest in a new calculator. Easons have them on sale.

    Here is another article about Appalachia. I have posted this before on different threads:

    The White Ghetto:

    There’s a great deal of drug use, welfare fraud, and the like, but the overall crime rate throughout Appalachia is about two-thirds the national average, and the rate of violent crime is half the national average, according to the National Criminal Justice Reference Service.
