Blacks have never come up with a serious rebuttal to per capita

Exoneration rates Base rates If you dont know what these things refer to you dont know enough to be discussing this topic

Are you saying this in support of what he’s saying or do you think exoneration rates are a rebuttal to “per capita”

You guys have this habit of replying and ignoring the point about base rates. I wonder why

Because it has shit to do with anything being discussed. Idek what you mean by base rates but nothing matters in this discussion besides per capita

I’ll spell it out since you cant seem to connect the dots. Per capita arguments take the observation that blacks are overrepresented in crime stats and misinterpret that to argue that most blacks are criminals (eg 13/50 claim). This is an obvious logical fallacy.

It’s not saying “most blacks are criminals” it’s saying “a higher % of blacks are criminals compared to whites”. I think most people understand the criminal population is a fraction of the total population.

Thats not how ppl discuss this topic

Are you sure ? People certainly make the claim that most blacks are criminals, which is obviously incorrect, but I'm not sure that the use the per capita argument. Or any argument at all for that matter.

Yes, otherwise there is no group-based policy prescription as a result of that observation. Even according to per capital, the proportion of black non murderers ≈ the proportion of white non murderers. So the appropriate policy targets CRIMINALS not a specific race

Policies do target criminals and then liberals say it’s racist because blacks are arrested more on a per capita rate.
