A good way to shut up MAGA about the 13% statistic is to tell them about how people born with male chromosomes make up 50% of the population but are somehow responsible for 98% of mass shootings. It’ll show them statistics can be used for personal gain

Men are more violent than women by nature. That’s just a fact. It’s a totally different issue and not even relevant to the point you’re trying to make

Issue is how statistics work. I expect white people to commit a majority of crimes because they are a majority of the population. It is troubling when we see a small minority commit that large of a percentage however. If you want to actually combat the point. Point out the fact that most black communities live in disproportionate poverty due to historic redlining and government neglect, and the rampant gang culture which resulted from it which would obviously cause disproportionate crime.

or…it’s also possible that we overpolice minorities. how many white kids get prosecuted for cocaine versus black kids for crack?

So you agree then? It’s troubling when roughly half the population (men) are the ones committing nearly all the crimes (mass shootings). Being responsible for 200% of what we normally would expect is crazy

Isn’t the point behind the 13/50 argument to suggest that black people are more violent than white people by nature as well? Obviously that’s not true, but is that not the point of the argument? It seems pretty spot on actually.

It’s also troubling when half of the population commits all the violence, actually. Idk why you’d suggest the 13/50 statistic is scarier than 50/98 lmao
