Yes, many people have "posted the stats" and have been shown how insipid summaries like yours misrepresent "the stats."
Your statement isn't accurate; anyone interested can search out those threads and see what the facts are.
The rest of your garbage is personal and off-topic.
What do you think about the nutjob Nugent?

What's your opinion on the fact 6% of this country which is (Black Men) commit over half the violent crime in this country?
Got any links to back this up?
The analysis
It’s true that around 13 per cent of Americans are black, according to the latest estimates from the US Census Bureau.
And yes, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, black offenders committed 52 per cent of homicides recorded in the data between 1980 and 2008. Only 45 per cent of the offenders were white. Homicide is a broader category than “murder” but let’s not split hairs.
Blacks were disproportionately likely to commit homicide and to be the victims. In 2008 the offending rate for blacks was seven times higher than for whites and the victimisation rate was six times higher.
As we found yesterday, 93 per cent of black victims were killed by blacks and 84 per cent of white victims were killed by whites.
Alternative statistics from the FBI are more up to date but include many crimes where the killer’s race is not recorded. These numbers tell a similar story.
In 2013, the FBI has black criminals carrying out 38 per cent of murders, compared to 31.1 per cent for whites. The offender’s race was “unknown” in 29.1 per cent of cases.
What about violent crime more generally? FBI arrest rates are one way into this. Over the last three years of data – 2011 to 2013 – 38.5 per cent of people arrested for murder, manslaughter, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault were black.

Just search for and whiteness month at Portland College. There were a couple threads about it here. There is a YouTube page dedicated to videos from this event. My point is that you guys show way more outrage for something an off the cuff like in off the hand comment, but show no interest or make excuses for mainstream racism like what I've described.

One is a random comment from an old man, the other is being taught in schools. Which is more of a threat to society?
So why are black offenders – and young black men in particular – over-represented in America’s crime statistics?
Judging from online comments, there is a wide spectrum of views on this, from unapologetic racism to militant refusal to blame the problem on anything but historic white racism.

The only point made here is that there are ATSers who apparently are glad to derail a thread in order to support the unmitigated crap that comes out of Nugent's mouth.
The fact that you two are desperately trying to connect two unrelated topics, both factual garbage, is quite telling.
Why don't you just go ahead and tell us that you agree with the draft-dodging pedophile? You'll feel better.

Your point is moot.
Whiteness, blackness, brownness, being a born citizen or a naturalised one, being a citizen at all or an immigrant NONE OF THIS NONSENSE MATTERS, EXCEPT TO THE TERMINALLY WITLESS!
Thankfully, most of these morons who give a damn either way, are self terminating problems that no one will ever have to lift a finger to deal with.
what are you talking about? I posted two links to back up the statistics I quoted, and I also posted links to the whiteness month information. I can't believe people are giving you stars for saying something that is provably wrong on this very page.

Well, since you don't bother to actually link to any evidence for what you keep trying to derail this thread with, I can't say.
Whiteness isn't going anywhere. Ted Nugent, and his endless verbal bowel movements, will someday end.

Why do you think this happened? could be to do with racists making sure you are all kept apart, the lack of education the poverty these guys grow up in. The problem isn't because they are black it is to do with all I have just mentioned.
