Are Pacific islanders more dangerous than blacks? (No) Are Native Americans more dangerous than whites? (No)

Probably commit more crimes, yeah.

1) That's from 2017 (many of the problems post-date this)

2) It's a well known far right spin rag, though with impressive writers (I was reading it when you were diapers).

3) Many similar articles cherry-pick the data and construe it into their favorite arguments. You can also find stats that more whites than blacks are murdered by cops each year, though this does not take into account the percentage of whites vs blacks in the US.

4) What you need as a counter argument is not far right misinformation, but the statistics instead

5) The National Review has an interesting history, which you can read about here. I've been a fan of Lionel Trilling's. What Trilling and I did not expect, however, is for the GOP to radicalize and thereby jump the shark, landing in the current climate of circus freaks like Trump and Boebert. That's buried traditional conservatism, aka Ike conservatism. It's now a bloody clown show.

It's not a new fact.

That is why BLM is racist, the issue is police violence. Not police violence just against black people.

Now you're cherry-picking notes in order to make half-truths. Never mind

I have been beaten twice by cops, fucktard. It is RACIST to exclude people who have experienced police misconduct because of their race. That's not cherry picking anything.

You'd have more success arguing with a pigeon. It's infuriatingly pointless with those shills even when pointing the evidence at them. They're not paid to lose arguments on the Internet and will use any manipulation technique in their books to make you doubt what you asserted at first. I try not to engage them but they're annoying as fuck.

I enjoy disagreeing sometimes. So many of us here agree with each other, largely or in part. I know Socks isn't gonna change his mind / paid opinion, but that has it's uses.

Completely unrelated to what we're discussing. Again - never mind.

Why don't you act like an adult, btw?

Again - never mind

Okay, but I want the last word so everyone knows you ran away from an argument you couldn't win. Like a child. 😎

I was too nice to you, as always. Others are too nice to you.

[–]Musky 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

I am blessed and beset by good fortune, tis true. I mean, except for the horrible pain all the time, that kind of sucks. Maybe being beloved by all achieves some sort of dharmic balance. 🤔

[–]cunt_esq 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

Obviously not my point

[–]Musky 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

I don't think you had a point, there's nothing sharp about you.

[–]cunt_esq 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Points don't have to be sharp, genius.
