Dr. Darrell, is that you?

Despite being only 13 percent of the population...

It's funny seeing someone who says

and can't make a comprehensible post say

now get lost kid it's past your bed time.

Go home boomer, you are drunk.

Actually, stick around. There is always room for a few schizo posters. Gives the place flavor.

but nooooooo. you wanna go full retard and say black people commit the majority of crimes...

Who said that?

which is why you have to use the per capita angle instead of the overall stats!

Per capita does nothing to change "majority." As I've said, you're either trolling, or honestly don't even know what per capita means. Hilarious.

women kill themselves more than men, oh! you say it's actually men! who commit more! suicides? well that can't be! because per capita, more women in these areas, kill themselves more than men! i won't use the overall data, so i'll just selectively use the data i complied.

Once again, that's not what per capita means, and I'd love a definition from you.

Also, go ahead and flesh out your pretend example, and provide an actual example where you could say women kill themselves more than men, "per capita" or otherwise.

You absolute walnut.

While you're introspecting, how would you feel if you didn't eat breakfast this morning?

Essentially, yes. Per capita literally means 'per head,' aka 'per person.'

So, basically, for this specific example, total is 6.8 million, whites are 4.7m, blacks are 1.8m. Blacks are committing crimes at roughly twice their 'per capita' representation. 1.8 is ~25% of 6.8, blacks are only ~13% (roughly half 25%) of the population. Blacks are committing twice as much crime on average as they should be. That's why 'per capita' is important.

Whites are around 60% of the population, blacks are around 13%. Blacks commit more murder (raw numbers), despite there being almost five times as many whites as blacks. Whites by population are underrepresented in crime, blacks are massively overrepresented in crime. Another example of why per capita is important. If you just look at the numbers, it looks fairly close. But taking population into account, you're looking at that 5X+ number, and it gets pretty crazy.

And, not to rub salt in the wound, but I am curious...what did you think per capita meant?

His example was kind of confusing, since you'd want the money, but not to get shot. So it's kind of reversed.

So take his example, but imagine it's a bad outcome. Perhaps you have to pay the amount of money under the cup. The majority (98 red cups) have more overall money penalties, but spread out among more cups. A tiny minority (2 green cups) have less overall penalties, but it's a lot more concentrated. Assuming you averaged everything out, picking a green minority cup you'd have to pay $50, picking a red majority cup you'd have to pay $2...despite the red majority having twice as much penalties overall.

blacks actually commit WAY more crimes than the other non white races. and almost commit just as much as white people.

Over 400 more murders by blacks, straight comparison. Whatever this data's drawn from.

While white are far more than 4x the population.
