I deny that this is the problem

Perhaps I was not clear. I did not ask if you deny that it "is the problem"; I asked if you deny that it is true.

People of all races around the world commit random murders

Your homework is to find which ones commit more random murders per capita.

suggesting that blacks commit crimes because of the color of their skin

Do you believe that race and skin color are completely interchangeable concepts?

as if they get up in the morning, realize that they are people of color, and thus decide to go stab people.

You expect us to accept that some people "will go crazy and want to stab random people" merely because they lost a job, yet you also seem to think it absurd that any black people would go crazy and want to stab people for any reason related to their respective races. Make up your mind. This incident may help.

Just don't expect legitimate replies from that account. The 'hapless ignoramus' act is just that - an act.

Work on your reading comprehension, Node, rather than project your fantasies onto others

You do have good rhetorical skills, as your manipulations of the topic and focus repeatedly demonstrate. I too have had training in that area. So it's not like your purpose isn't obvious.

project your fantasies onto others

Weak, but you're correct to deflect and denigrate. Keep going if you like.

Perhaps I was not clear. I did not ask if you deny that it "is the problem"; I asked if you deny that it is true.

So you really think that is the issue here - the hypothetical idea that a white, esp. right-wing person, attacking a black person would have been on the front page - and you ask if I deny that claim?

I deny it. (1) Your question is unrelated to the attack (a black person atttacked a white person and it was in the NY Times and several other websites), (2) your question is unrelated to the attack because a black person attacked a white person and it was on an equivalent version of an online "front page", (3) all random homicides in the US rarely get much attention on the so-called "front-page" because they are so common, and especially in NYC since 2020, (4) to directly answer your question, I deny that a homicide by a white person against a black person would be on the so-called front page because many of these crimes (white on black or whatever) are not on the front page, as they are essentially news blips and have a news cycle of 10 minutes, (5) there were 21,570 homicides in the US in 2020, (6) most victims of homicides - if we compare ONLY blacks and whites - were blacks, as is the norm for lower income victims, (7) people of all races do indeed commit random murders, and to focus on blacks is an obvious attempt to demonize them, whereas you can look at hispanic crime, or crime among lower income whites, (8) you must look at class differences, as those who are struggling to live will of course tend to commit more crimes (white collar crime is also significant), (9) racists tend to divide races by skin color, which is one of the reason they are called racists, because of prejudice against people with a different skin color, (10) racists rarely understand or discuss appropriately the complexities of ethnicity, favoring instead simplifications of skin color into whites and blacks, which is of course stupid, (11) yes, 900,000 people out of work in a year will result in a few crimes, even if that's just a slight increaase in crime from the year before, (12) some of those crimes will be homicides, (13) most of those deaths - if we must focus on the stupid black/white stats - are black, (14) most of those deaths are - more importantly - lower income people, (15) many of those lower income people have drug problems and commit crimes because of insanity, (16) news of homicides of blacks or whites does not differ that much, (17) there is the problem that kidnapings of blond girls get more attention than kidnappings of Native Americans, or of Hispanics, or of blacks, but that's a different matter

Low income Whites commit less crime than low income blacks. You don't know that because you didn't read it in a wikipedia article. So, this whole silly little "you're wayyyciss" rant is kinda shot now.
