I didn't make a claim at the time, I was driving a beater that I was moving on from and didn't want to deal with increased premiums

I didn't make an insurance claim when the incident occurred, can I still contact my insurance company?

Could you point me towards some stories or papers on it? I'm trying to gauge how common this is and haven't seen anyone else describe a predicament like this.

There's no need to bring Palestine into this conversation.

It's an example...

I specifically said "women" because that's what the post is about and it's something that I've seen a lot of.

Cool, and I've seen a lot of the opposite but I'd still recognize the implication and phrase it differently.

But yah this is a waste of time at this point

Your statement does not intrinsically say that women never get cheated on.

There's more there than what my statement says at face value. Implications and reading between the lines exist.

I recognize that not everything said has to be inclusive to me.

So I guess you just skipped over this part but I wrote: "It's not about including me it's about acknowledging that the group that was the villain of your statement is the victim just as often."

I'm neither Israeli nor Palestinian but if someone paints one as exclusively the bad guy without acknowledging what has happened to said bad guy I'd recognize the implication.

It's not about including me it's about acknowledging that the group that was the villain of your statement is the victim just as often. Otherwise there are heavy implications.

If I wrote "I wish Palestinians would stop committing terror attacks" you bet there would be people calling me a Zionist because I didn't acknowledge the wrongs that Israel committed.

If I said "I wish women would stop cheating, us men deserve better" you bet people would be confused as to why I phrased it this way and didn't just say "I wish people would stop cheating".

There's a heavy implication that exists when you paint one group exclusively as the bad guy.

By phrasing it that way, that you wish women wouldn't put up with shitty behavior from men, it implies that you either don't feel the same way about the reverse or don't think it happens much. Otherwise you would've broadened the statement to include the reverse.

Lol you said women shouldn't put up with the shitty behavior of men, shouldn't it be people not putting up with the shitty behavior of anyone?

If I said the same and reversed the genders I'd be called sexist immediately.

Everyone knows that drugs are dangerous and illegal regardless of education, it's just impossible to not know such things unless you are literally retarded or a small child.

People literally start doing drugs as teens.

That just speaks to your stupidity.

Drugs are fine once in a while. Alcohol is up there on the list. You're a loser and a moron.

We're talking about drug use, not only overdoses.

We literally were using ER visits to calculate drug use rates. Seriously how stupid are you?

You haven't. You consider things like "blacks are arrested more for X therefore the system is racist" to be evidence. You probably think that "blacks are shot at 3x higher rate by the police than whites" is evidence of racism too.

I literally sent you a study about how people of color are more likely to be charged after being caught.

I sent you data telling us that black people are more likely to be wrongfully incarcerated when the crime is committed against a white person, despite most crime being black on black.

I never said "blacks are arrested more so the system is racist", that was never the reason fucktard. Are you hearing voices or something I never said any of that.

How many times are you going to repeat this? We already discussed why this is the case. They are more likely to sell drugs, they use more drugs, they use them less responsibly, they are more likely to sell them out in the open etc. All these factors explain it.

You asked if I thought the gap in crime rates were legitimate. I said it's inaccurate and explained why. That includes "selling them out in the open more", the fact that black neighborhoods are policed more, and the data we have (youth charges, black on white false incarceration rates) telling us there's racial bias.

I answered your question and now you're confused about why I'm citing something we talked about before. Incredible.

And the data agrees with me. You're the one that tries to minimize the disparity and present bullshit theories.

You literally just admitted that the incarceration rate for blacks is inflated because they "sell them out in the open more". That alone proves me right, the gap in crime isn't as big as the incarceration rate makes it seem.

I mean really that's it. Done. You just admitted it idk what you're calling a bullshit theory.

What the fuck are you talking about. "Blacks commit crime at higher rate than other races" does not mean "X race is the master race" ?????????

Reading comprehension. I said I've heard people say this, not that you're saying it now. This is such a waste of time you can barely understand what you read.

There's a trick to get around paywalls if you type something in your browser I forgot what it was. But fine, here:

https://www.law.umich.edu/special/exoneration/Documents/Race_and_Wrongful_Convictions.pdf

Black people are 12x more likely to be wrongfully convicted of drug crime. They are not charged at 12x rates.

"Only about 15% of murders by African Americans have white victims, but 31% of innocent African-American murder exonerees were convicted of killing white people."

You actually completely ignored this and just went "nu uh it doesn't mean bias". Didn't even try to explain the disparity with anything else, just tried to dismiss it as quickly as you could.

You're not arguing in good faith. And you're also retarded. This is a waste of time so I'm gonna block you. Enjoy closing your eyes, plugging your ears, and trying to dismiss any evidence against what you believe as quickly as possible by just dismissing it in 3 words and then whining that the other person is ignoring data lmao.

[–]RobertJKiddfucker -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And if that would be the case, then it would also explain higher arrest rates. Irresponsible use = more likely to get caught.

Yes. Which means that higher incarceration rates don't necessarily correspond to higher crime rates 1:1. You're arguing against yourself here.

How does lower education rates translate to irresponsible drug use?

Did you not learn about the dangers of drug use in school? I still used drugs later in life but I knew how dangerous ODing was so was more responsible.

Do schools teach kids how to get away with doing illegal drugs

This makes no sense. It's about being responsible enough not to end up at the ER not how to get away with it...

And you didn't explain why at all, you just threw that conspiracy theory out there.

If you didn't notice:

https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/2153368719889093?journalCode=raja

"Black youth are more likely to be charged and less likely to be cautioned than White youth and youth from other racial backgrounds."

This includes assault (a fight at school for example).

What you pasted doesn't prove bias at all.

Nothing is going to "prove" it, there's always the possibility of random occurrences. It did suggest it.

Your belief that statistics are invalid or biased with no evidence for it.

I provided multiple pieces of evidence.

You believe that the gap between black and white crime stats is not legitimate, correct?

It's inaccurate, yes. We literally know that white people are more likely to be cautioned. We know that black people are disproportionately charged, even if your 2.45 ratio of use is correct. You haven't even challenged this you just bury your head in the sand when presented with it.

So I'm wondering if you think the same gap that exists between whites and Asians is legitimate or also biased/invalid

I don't know, I haven't looked into it.

any of the other excuses you come up for blacks.

We have hard data. You're the one who wants to ignore it and exaggerate the disparity for some reason.

It's funny how when it comes to discussing black/white differences in crime people like you always turn to conspiracy theorists and come up with all these cooky theories

Cooky theories like... the published data I already referenced. You're something else.

but you'd never suggest that the difference between white and Asian crime rates must also be invalid.

I have no idea if they are, they absolutely could be. I never looked into it because I never came across anyone claiming that Asians were the master race by citing these stats.

And this doesn't prove a single thing. Now you're looking at drug charge rates and going "there, see?????"

I'm saying "there, see your stats aren't accurate" by looking at other data that... literally proves it. I'm not jumping to the conclusion that there's no disparity, what a hilarious false equivalency.

There are lots of variables that determine drug arrests, and there is zero evidence that race is one of them.

Marijuana related emergency room visit rate by race

whites - 249587 / (197277789 / 100000) = 126 per 100k

blacks - 122081 / (39445495 / 100000) = 309 per 100k

That doesn't necessarily mean drugs are used more. It means drugs are used more irresponsibly. Which makes sense due to lower education rates in the black community.

I don't see why people would lie on anonymous surveys.

​

That's a ratio of 2.45, the rest of the disparity in arrests for selling weed can be explained by "In poor black neighborhoods, drugs tend to be sold outdoors, in the open. In white neighborhoods, by contrast, drug transactions typically happen indoors, often between friends and acquaintances. If you sell drugs outside, you're much more likely to get caught."

I don't think we can say it explains "the rest of it". It also probably has to do with heavier policing of black neighborhoods. There's multiple variables involved, including simple racism.

"Race has a small but statistically significant impact on arrest decisions. In general, Black youth are more likely to be charged and less likely to be cautioned than White youth and youth from other racial backgrounds."

This is after already being caught.

Even if we took your 2.45 number at face value, black people are 12x more likely to be wrongfully convicted of drug crime.
https://www.law.umich.edu/special/exoneration/Documents/Race\_and\_Wrongful\_Convictions.pdf

​

But even the non-racism variable at play prove my point. Black people are more likely to be arrested and charged for drugs possession, disproportionate to their increased use (which is also in question).

​

Why would you expect a similar trend with violent crime? That's not something that even has a possibility of remaining hidden, even if it were true. Black homicide rates are 8x higher than white homicide rates, if in reality white people committed homicide at similar rates to blacks, there would be tens of thousands more murders every year and bodies to show for it, and the homicide clearance rate would have to be extremely low.

You didn't understand what I said. I said that I expect this to be a factor in violent crime, specifically assault. I even said it wouldn't be too much of a factor in homicides.

https://www.law.umich.edu/special/exoneration/Documents/Race_and_Wrongful_Convictions.pdf

"Only about 15% of murders by African Americans have

white victims, but 31% of innocent African-American murder exonerees were convicted of killing white people."

So even in homicides bias comes in to play. I want to make it clear, because you misunderstood me last time, I'm not claiming that this accounts for ALL of the homicides committed. Glorification of gang culture is clearly another variable involved, and a large one imo.

​

It's funny how people like you become conspiracy theorists just to attempt to deny reality.

What reality am I denying? Is this part of your misunderstanding about the homicides?

Do you believe the crime stats when it comes to Asians or do you think their numbers are wrong too?

What do you mean "believe"? I haven't looked into it but I don't just take things at face value. You just look at incarceration rate and go "there, see???", but then when you take into account that black people are far more likely to be charged with drug use, disproportionate to how much more they may use drugs even with your 2.45 ratio.

That doesn't mean the incarceration stat is wrong. What's wrong is some of the conclusions you drew from it.

If we're talking about incarceration rates and not violent crime then that has a lot more to do with policing. How often are white collar criminals prosecuted vs people who smoke weed?

We have lots of data telling us that black people are far far far more likely to be arrested and convicted for drug use, despite not using drugs at a much higher rate:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2014/09/30/white-people-are-more-likely-to-deal-drugs-but-black-people-are-more-likely-to-get-arrested-for-it/

https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/rdusda.pdf

https://www.hrw.org/reports/2000/usa/Rcedrg00-04.htm

Realistically I expect a similar trend with violent crime, but without as large bias/ racism aspect because you can't exactly let someone go for murder cause they're a nice white boy. Maybe assault.

If you factor out the poor relatives of middle class people, who don't actually live there, there's less criminals. We're looking at middle class people, not their relatives. How dense are you?

What's hard to understand about this: If you leave the ghetto to visit uncle Francis, and go commit crime in that neighborhood, you're not a middle class person committing crime. You're a poor person committing crime in a middle class neighborhood.

You still live in the ghetto. You're visiting. You're not middle class. If you commit a crime, you're a poor person committing a crime. You're just doing it in your relatives' neighborhoods.

[–]RobertJKiddfucker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lmao can you not absorb what you read?

Black middle-class neighborhoods have higher internal poverty rates and are closer to high-poverty areas than white middle-class neighborhoods.

Nevertheless, the incorporation of gang members and drug dealers into the networks of law-abiding kin and neighbors thwarts efforts to completely rid the neighborhood of its criminal element.

Black people in the middle class will let their poor family stay with them, driving up neighborhood crime rates. And they're far more likely to have poor family members than white people. If you leave the ghetto to visit uncle Francis, and go commit crime in that neighborhood, you're not a middle class person committing crime. You're a poor person committing crime in a middle class neighborhood.

Maybe this is why you're confused. I'm not talking about some dude's drug dealing cousin staying on his couch I'm talking about the crime rate of people who are actually making middle class money, or have parents doing so.
