The Fallacy of White Privilege

Men account for 89% of all arrests for murder, 88%  of all robberies, 77% of aggravated assaults, and 73% of all simple assaults.  A man is 7 to 9 times as likely to commit a violent crime as a woman.  So why do these taxi drivers ever pick up men when they are so much more likely to commit a violent crime than a woman?

It is about race and it is a clear privilege for white people.  Even though white males are part of the most violent criminal demographic in the country they will not be discriminated against because they are WHITE.

So men are the majority of violent criminals... and I just showed African Americans are vastly ahead of their population as far as crime goes.

So that means you agree that the most likely person to commit a crime would be an African American male, which is exactly what the "experiment" used.

You can make this a racist thing/white privilege thing all you want, but that statistics blatantly show the truth. It would be great if everyone could be treated equally, but in order for that to happen, they need to act equally. That's currently not happening.

You say men account for 89% of all murder arrests, but that number is 48.2% for white people, and 49.2% for African American people. Despite white people making up 69.1% of the population (so well under-representated in murder) and African American people making up 12.1% of the population.

Maybe, JUST MAYBE, your numbers about men are being skewed by African American men.

If 89% of all murder arrests are men, that is 7,570 murders going off of those 2012 FBI numbers. If the murder rates hold the same for just men as they do for both genders of an ethnicity and you do an admittedly winged 50% male/female population split, that means..

~3,649 murder arrests out of 34.55% of the population that's white males
and
~3,724 murder arrests out of 6.05% of the population that's African American males

Side note, way to completely ignore a full third of my post about Asian Americans because it doesn't fit your love of calling people racists.
