Really tried to stay out of this argument since it was, and still is pointless to argue with fuji's 'opinion'.

I guess you just don't want to face the fact that blacks commit a disproportionate share of the violence, even when you control for income levels. Once you admit that we can have a productive discussion on why that might be, and how to fix it. In any case, it is part of the reality we live in, and denying it is a one-way ticket to fantasy land. It's easier to solve problems if you acknowledge them.
I will even say this: It is not "blacks" that commit more crimes. African immigrants, for the most part, don't have this problem. It's the decendents of the slave trade that commit the crime, many of them having transited through Jamaica. So there is nothing genetic about this, it's very clearly a cultural problem.
But it is a cultural problem in the black community, and the constant denials, the insistence that the black community isn't really committing all the crime--when everybody can see that it is--just doesn't help.
Okay, but.... (Post #626 this thread)
Your calculations aren't valid, you aren't dealing with the confounding factors of city size and poverty which dilute your numbers making it harder to see the impact of race.
You HAVE to account for those things or you cant claim that race isn't significant, especially since it is so overwhelmingly obvious in the raw police reports.
I'm willing to help you do it if you have the numbers but I'm not willing to accept silly claims about significance based on making a pair of lists and eyeballing them.
You used the word "significance" therefore you need to show your calculation of significance. That would be best done with a regression test.
FC asked you about this very inconsistency in your argument. Care to explain??
Ooop, in the US natives and blacks are more likely than average to be pedophiles while whites and Asians are less likely than average.
Got any Canadian data?
If not let's go with this, once again blacks and natives leading the crime stats, though not as much as with gun crime. The 25% higher rate of black pedophiles is most likely the result of lack of education and poverty, unlike gun crime. Natives have a bigger problem, probably the result of institutionalizing kids in assimilation programs leading to cycles of abuse.

Guess you rammed your foot down your throat there Phil..
Unlike you, I like to check the credibility of my stats. So I checked the link and looked around this BLOG (yes folks, a blog, an opinion, and NOT a peer reviewed wrok) to see where this data came from and the blogger's other 'work'. Besides that any link that was to lead to the source of his stats did not work (wasn't surprised), here's what I found...

There doesn’t seem to be much I can do about it, but it does cause me problems."

Nice source. A guy whose stats can't be traced to a creidble source, who is not a racist, hates Gypsies, and has his very own definition of 'racist'. Oh ya, and I'm not sure but I think he believes in Big Foot as he has many articles (with pictures) about him/it.
Nice try, but you still have no stats and/or argument. Shame on you for trying to pass off that sorry excuse for 'proof' on us. We may not be that smart, but we're surely not that dumb.
