No, it is not. Black people make up 14% of the country, overall, and 15% of those who attack whites. This is the actual national crime report, from a GOP administration. https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/cv18.pdf …

I think this is a key point for people who don't take the Flaherty argument seriously. Now, first, if you send me your e-mail via DM, I will send you a list of absurd white-on-Black crimes, most of which involve a video. I'm not going to get into a one-for-one on a comments line.

In other words you can't come up with shut videos of white on black violence. Don't feel bad. Many have claimed they could but never followed through. You are not the first, nor will you be the last

Literally just e-mail me. I'm going to keep engaging here, because I find this argument so remarkably weak. First (1) I already responded. Second, (2) real scientists don't base their crime rate data on YouTube fight videos. Are you serious?

When you have good reason to suspect dishonesty in official data, a good sanity check is to turn to anecdotal evidence - check the patterns found in a large number of anecdotes. Expect more of this as society moves to a low trust equilibrium with lower institutional honesty.

This is an intelligent point I'll respond to, but - as with a lot of "dissident" arguments - the starting premise strikes me as basically wrong. First, relying on anecdotes is, in real social science, a last-ditch strategy used when literally nothing is reliable at all.

It's always good to keep anecdotal data as a background sanity check and there has been a massive surge in the statistical power of anecdotes with the rise of social media.

Now, THIS is a point! But, it's kinda MY point. With FB and especially twitter, we see random rare b/s - animal attacks, pedophiles snatching children, race attacks on both sides - all the time. It's awful. Doesn't make that stuff common, though.

You don't have to dig into social media to see videos of white on black violence - even the threat or implication immediately becomes a massive national news story. On the other hand, plenty of videos of likely unreported crimes in the other direction.
