I say: discuss Black crime, white "pathologies of hopelessness," illegal immigration, the fact men aren't women, and EVERYTHING ELSE openly. But, descending into frantic cowardice with the lowest crime and unemployment ever? Nah.

But, I think the issue is not over-hyping small risks. Assuming the usual integrated middle-class situation, a Black dude has a 15.3% chance of attacking you - assuming the 1/2K risk you are attacked at all - and a white dude a 64% chance. That's directly proportional.

That's not true though. Exactly analogous to saying that the risk of death by jumping into a woodchipper is near zero because last year there were zero fatalities from it. That crime rate is *after* people take massive measures to avoid black people. Look at RE prices.

#last - you're also assuming most Black people are poor, and the suburbs aren't 25%+ integrated with POC. Here's an actual breakdown of Black incomes. Again: ghetto or trailer park - maybe dangerous. Integrated prom - you can stop running and screaming.pic.twitter.com/RXT8HmqbmH

Not what I'm saying at all. What I'm saying is that if you matched RE on all dimensions but racial composition of the neighborhood you'd see that people will pay a large premium to avoid living in black neighborhoods. That premium is due to safety - not irrational prejudice.

But, dart-tossing aside, let's measure this. Would you say that the price of homes in white vs. Black neighborhoods - let's use Zillow - would totally reflect crime rates, rather than irrational bias, sales price tradition, etc?

I'd say that the price of housing in otherwise matching areas differing only by racial makeup reflect the premium to avoid the risk of crime in black neighborhoods as well as the rest of black dysfunction - not the crime rate. http://www.lagriffedulion.f2s.com/hood.htm pic.twitter.com/oiuHXSrSpi
