so my opinions are 4% off and hence not good MY DEAR ?

obviously with the 49/53 % I was referring to the most important crime that is murder, 27% arrests for a 13% population is still a 200% more which backs up my claim that black people commit more crimes

I think you are a fact denier, you analyze everything except the data itself and hold on to little details such as a 4% inaccuracy or the unresolved murders, and find excuses to avoid what is obvious

I understand that you want to know exactly where the data is coming from, and this is a good thing so I'll make sure to note sources in the future even though this is a casual gaming forum and not a university essay, but accusing me of posting misinformation is just pushing it too far

taking the 49% figure and adding the 4% to white results in a x5.87 as many murders where the actual 53% figure results in x6.97 as many, so i used x6 instead of the actual x7, and that declares my opinion as invalid and misinformation? if you regard that as misinformation instead of inaccuracy then you are seriously biased

you exaggerate and make it look dramatic, and even accuse me of making up figures for that :/

so my opinions are 4% off and hence not good MY DEAR ?

1. I asked you not to call me something, which seems like a reasonable request.  It's not at all relevant to this conversation... So at this point the only reason to do so is an attempt to intentionally antagonize me. AKA trolling. This is the second time I'm telling you not to, so I'm assuming that should be enough.

2.I don't know how much clearer I can be about this point.  I've explained that the 4% you keep harping on about is just as much garbage as any other stat you've posted, and I've explained why the degree of accuracy isn't the problem. Somehow you come back with SO THE PROBLEM IS I'M OFF BY 4%?  Like... I dunno... did you read anything I said?  Maybe numbering things will help you out?

3.  Do you understand that the total of black and white murder should not add up to 100%, and therefore your 53% figure cannot be accurate, and therefore your constant claim of "I'm only off by 4%" is fallacious? Do you understand that you have to account for the 25% of the population that is not black or white, and until you do, you cannot extrapolate based on the data?

4. Again, "Do you understand that the problem is not how accurate the information is, but the fact that you posted it without any rational basis for knowing how accurate it was?"

I don't know how many more times I'll have to type the word sorry for not stating the source, it's been at least twice

do you understand that you exaggerate? by presenting small inaccuracy as 'misinformation' and make it sound dramatic, even accusing me of making up stats? and now "any other stat I've posted" is garbage!? because I didn't state the source on one of them? seriously... I understand that you may disagree with my views in some topics, but calling the stats garbage? all because they do not serve your views

you are desperate on downgrading my opinions that you hold on to this thing and try to make it sound huge, I highly doubt you would make it a big matter or even ask for a source for someone who agreed with you, but I get attacked brutally because I dare post some data to discuss while still shaping up my opinion... your bias is unreal

what 25% of the population are you referring to? if it's about the Hispanic/Latino they are obviously included in the White race, since there is the 'Other' category that only "Includes American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, and Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander."

all the other figures I posted stated sources on them anyway, and again my intention was to talk and learn more about actual US society problems not this... but yeah, as you said before, with these figures that I post I'm not worth discussing anything with, how dare I
