You can be ignorant if you want, but it bums me out, because it's hard to find people who know what's wrong with this country. These white nationalists are morons. They are the product of people who are being disenfranchised by the government, and so they are taking on the telltale traits of othering and victimhood. Segregation is a stupid concept. Not segregation of ideas, mind you. Basing it on something worthless like color is the mantra of simpletons, but you do you. It's the EXACT same thing that Mikey's doing, but from the other side.

It's simple math, man. It's not 4x higher per capita. It's 4 times higher in total. Considering whites make up a larger portion of the population than blacks, it's going to be higher. Not only that, now we have crime statistics being altered to try to close the gap, but that's a different discussion. Per capita, there is a noticeable difference. Cal is right in that most of this crime is coming out of 4 or 5 cities.

I know it's not 4 times higher per capita.  Duh!  There are 4 times as many white people in this country than black people.  White on black crime is 4 times as prevalent as black on white crime.  I'm not saying white people commit more crimes against black people per capita.  I'm saying the stats line up with the population percentages.  "4 times as prevalent" means that for every black on white crime, there are 4 white on black crimes.  It lines up with the population percentages, and the idea that black are disproportionately attacking white people is not true.
