One of my projects in my undergrad statistics course was race and crime. It was decades ago but I still remember it pretty clearly. It's a very complex data set riddled with issues to account for in the data, the collection of the data, gaps in the data and what the data really means (how do you define crime, what's included/excluded etc). Abrig could tell you some of the issues with data collection (reporting) alone. Way too many issues to deal with in this format. It was fascinating and would have been fun to keep working with but didn't fit my path.

I remember a cacman type project that "proved" religion caused crime because there was a direct relationship between an increase in the number of churches and the increase in violent crime. Real study.....really flawed.

Cacman your statement, as you specifically worded it, at best has never been proven at worst is patently false. Many have tried. If you can prove it you should do so and collect some coin. Maybe you can get it published in skinhead weakly.


Why did I get pulled into this?

Now that I have, what is it that you seek?

But yeah....it's the same

Oh. Ok. So you're saying explicitly that cacman's exactly as racist as the woman in the OP... Just posts his rants anonymously on a cigar board instead of having the guts to say it in a type of medium which could have real life repercussions and isn't successful enough to gather a following...

You're not making him sound better....

No. But when one makes certain statements relating to a person's assertion, you expect their response to be associated with said statements... Or in some way a response, not some nonsense tangent. I knew if I said "questions" you'd point out I didn't use a question mark anywhere.

In fairness to cacman my guess is wysiwyg and he is equally and openly racist in person and doesn't care about the implications. I respect that more than pretending otherwise.

I am not a racist. I don't care what the color of your skin is until you make an issue out of it. I stated facts regarding crime that where easily found through simple searches.

I also moved to CO because there is little to no welfare. There's little to no Section 8 housing, and in my area affordable deed-restricted Habitat Housing starts at $250K. Not to mention the smoke is a lot better. Only caveat is being surrounded by Illegal immigrants with better health coverage for free than what I can afford to pay for. But, they work their butt off, are devoted to their family and Catholic religion. The father actually sticks around and takes care of his family. (Just for you opel)

Spent most of my teens in state institutions. After living almost another 20yrs in one of the seediest areas of Pittsburgh, ducking shootings everyday, cleaning up needles off my yard and porch left from junkies getting their fix on my front stoop and having to bleach the blood off the concrete when they where done, watching a thriving German & Italian immigrant neighborhood turned to crap due to welfare, Section 8 housing, and gangs fighting over turf they don't even own but rented through Section 8, where girls would rather have another child just to get a raise in social benefits instead of finding a job, and a horrible public school system that required my kids to walk through a metal detector just to enter the school. Yes, I got tired of my entire family being discriminated against and expected something from just because we where the minority with different colored skin. I don't do these things to others, and require the same from them.

I sure as hell wasn't moving to Ferguson, Chicago, or Compton.
I decided to move on up. You can call that racism. I call it survival, and taking care of my family.

I take you at your word that you're not racist... but saying that you moved to CO because black people would be less likely to live there based on their medical proclivity towards sicle cell is a decidedly racist statement... makes it sound like you used some complicated effed up racist algorithm to pinpoint the least black place on earth and somehow overlooked Orania...

Agreed and I will take him at his word as well.

I've never met anyone who admitted they were racist. Then again I've never met anyone who thought about moving to altitude because sickle cell couldn't be there.

He may not be racist, but it is a racist comment. There is a difference. Sort of (but not exactly) like the difference between climate and weather.

Meh.

Gang banger? I think black punk shooting gun sideways to match his ballcap.
