ORIGINAL: tazzygirl For you to sit there and claim there are less racially motivated crimes among white people .... Smoothing the curve to make sense of the data is not your strong suit. The raw numbers are misleading. By my calculations, any one white, across the population, has about a .7% probability of committing a hate crime. Conversely, any one black, across the population, has about a 1.4% probability. Yes, the number of white hate crimes will, in raw numbers, exceed those of black. But your odds of actually being subjected to such are 2x greater, for any one individual, if that individual is black. Though not in the same vein, it's no wonder Jesse Jackson, upon hearing footfalls closing in behind him, upon turning around, was relieved that those overtaking him were white.
