no need to exaggerate it's bad enough as it is

I don't think you understand his valid argument, i.e. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_approximation#First-order. In simplest layman's terms, if you rounded to 1 significant digit, a bit if you will, or "all of it" vs. "none of it". Likewise if you did the same question with Chinese you'd get "none of it", same with Whites.

It's NOT an exaggeration, it's a first order approximation. If you were a politician, social engineer, law enforcement, etc. and someone said "solve crime", the first thing you'd do is remove Blacks from the vicinity or heavily police them and you WOULD solve most crime.

clickbait. no need for that. Always just state facts.

Jesus, that IS a fact. There's frequently a lot of value in distilling a problem down to it's simplest form. e.g. If you were given ONE policy change to solve crime, what would it be? Our (((enemies))) would say remove Whites. But they'd be 180 degrees wrong. If you asked them what is the total solution they give Byzantine solutions involving White guilt, prison reform (free the Blacks), 1619 project indoctrination, Affirmative Action, No Child Left Behind, miscegenation, Hate Speech laws, ...ad nausea. But the truth is, and we can go back in time to prove our one policy change is all that's needed, just remove Blacks from White society and crime goes away, TO A FIRST ORDER APPROXIMATION.

"all crime in the U.S.A. is committed by blacks." a lie that makes you look like a clown, clickbait to get people to click. Never do that, it's a sign you don't really believe your own thoughts, just trying to get clicks.

TO A FIRST ORDER APPROXIMATION

He probably could have spent more time explaining the mathematical basis underlying the claim. When the quote is appended to "all crime in the US is committed by blacks", it's appearing to be correct.

Orders of approximation range from 0 - 2.

Higher-order

While higher-order approximations exist and are crucial to a better understanding and description of reality, they are not typically referred to by number.

Continuing the above, a third-order approximation would be required to perfectly fit four data points, and so on. See polynomial interpolation.

Point being, that's a mathematical claim that doesn't literally mean all crime is committed by blacks. (But it's not because they're not trying.)

His link goes into more explanation.

"all crime in the U.S.A. is committed by blacks."

I never said that. Nice straw man though.

I suppose this argument is for the more numerically minded, or at least those that can parse a sentence.

Would you say it was "a lie" if 1 million Blacks committed murder and 1 White that I said "essentially all murders are committed by Blacks"? Would you delete "essentially", misquote me, and then call me a liar?

dummy look at the title of this thread

[–]Fitter_HappierWhite Nationalist[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

Idiot, you half quoted the title, completely changing the meaning. I have a suggestion, continue with manual labor and leave the thinking and wordplay to others.

the title is the title kid next time read before copying and pasting

Look, I know this is complicated but:

"To a fair first approximation, all crime in the U.S.A. is committed by blacks."

is NOT the same as

"All crime in the U.S.A. is committed by blacks."

So when you say "is", you realize that means "the same as", or "equals". But "To a fair first approximation" does not mean "equals", it means ...

Oh never mind, you're as dumb as a rock and will never understand.
