9/ why limit it to "black" ? Crime CORRELATES with African, but not at the 1.0 level. Tons of good African Americans, and tons of terrible whites. That's part of the point of my rant - big data lets us get PRECISE. Race is a heuristic but imperfect.https://twitter.com/american_sulla/status/1181553602042777601 …

11/ Blacks made up 11.6% of US population in 1900, and made up almost exactly the same in 2010. Cite:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_racial_and_ethnic_demographics_of_the_United_States#Historical_data_for_all_races_and_for_Hispanic_origin_(1610–2010) …

12/ So Africans are poor and violent in the Chicago, in Sweden, in South Africa, in Kenya, in the Congo, in France, in Washington DC, in Haiti, etc., but you assert confidently that this is "NOT" anything relating to race? Fascinating.https://twitter.com/manforoneseason/status/1181555034368004097 …

my problem with this is that you look at the history of black people in the us - from violent abudction and slavery to sharecropping and the failure of reconstruction and the klan and jim crow and redlining and then mass incarceration - and you blame ‘africanness’

look I’m obviously not suggesting that on an interpersonal level you should just shrug your shoulders and blame your ancestry

but the suggestion that disproportionate rates of crime among black communities for eg are the result of systematic personal failure (caused by some innate to ‘africanness’) instead of structural racism and the lingering, accumulated effects of history is fkn stupid

the thing that’s stupid about this thread is just how quickly the statistical observation that x group is more likely to do y thing is followed by ‘and instead of this being due to any sociological or economic reasons it’s definitely to do with the fact they have african genes’

do you have evidence to prove that it's do to sociological or economic reasons? I change my opinions a lot, based on evidence.
