@Iov4r @shadowstrophe Do black people statistically murder people at a higher rate?

@chucksneed69 @shadowstrophe acknowledging statistics isn’t racist, they can actually help us recognize and combat racial disparities when you allow yourself to ask WHY and what factors apply instead of applying improper logic to them to confirm your own bias.
English

@Iov4r @shadowstrophe The topic was whether or not its racist to acknowledge minorities are poorer statistically. We all agree it isnt. But suddenly extrapolating what that else that means IS debated hotly.
English

@chucksneed69 @shadowstrophe no, that’s the topic you chose. anyone that has ever taken a freshman statistics course understands why your decision to extrapolate in this scenario is mathematically stupid and demonstrates weak critical thinking skills.
English

@Iov4r @shadowstrophe I never even suggested WHY they are poor. The facts are the facts and I encounter people as they exist and act accordingly.
English

@chucksneed69 @shadowstrophe you built a strawman argument failed to address the topic at hand. if you wanted to add more to the conversation you should have made a proper deductive argument.
English

@Iov4r @shadowstrophe The tweet I replied to was saying minorities are poor and that this is just a statistical reality. I agree and didnt debate the causes of this. I then demonstrated the addtl step that the "statistics" libs are too afraid to admit to, and it has led to predictable ire from you.
English

@chucksneed69 @shadowstrophe i thought we learned correlation =/ causation in secondary. black people in the US aren’t disproportionately poor by default it’s a systemic issue. poor people aren’t born either but their circumstances are a higher risk factor. statistics are helpful to critical thinkers.

@shadowstrophe my bad i forgot critical thinking skills aren’t practiced on this app👍🏾

@unwraithful @cardamomkiss The one where you agreed with them but also clarified it has more to do with class than race?
