Debunking blue cities are more violent myth

[poweRob]

I see that shit in here quite a bit and I want a thread to point to when that trope is trotted out in the future. Data matters.

Anyone who understands the idea of per capita statistics already knows that you have a greater chance of being assaulted or murdered in small towns and rural areas.

Tennessee! That's still somehow the frontier, isn't it?

Which is why the members of "Claque Failed Casino Operator" don't know that.

Metro vs Non-Metro Homicide Rates:

 

[Mr Person]

Some certainly do love to swap between color of city and state as convenient for their chosen bullshit.

 

[Luce]

How about a link to where you got that?

 

[Rucker61]

Sorry. I get my CDC data from here:

Makes sense since only 28% of Chicago is black.

Makes sense since only 28% of Chicago is black.

At :38, he says "It's Memphis, TN by almost double". Memphis Black population: 64.6%, so it pretty much works out.

 

[Exquisitor]

When a district rises in income it goes Democrat.

Based on what?

Criminal Neglect

Newly released numbers from the National Crime Victimization Survey make it clear.

Which is why, when talking about violence, conservatives switch over to whole numbers.

Nonsense.

What argument will that link support?

 

[Ginger Ale]

The disturbing part about that line is they're equating the color of who occupies the city to its crime. Crime = black, safe = white.

Thanks for the KKK position. Why do you suppose that it's consistently red states that have the higher rate of violence?

"Yaz gotta keep them peeple inner place."?

 

[OrphanSlug]

Unsure this debate matters any longer, I am beginning to question if any of us are safe no matter if red state / blue state or urban / rural or whatever else.

Red states have much higher Black populations than blue states.

 

[ttwtt78640]

That the per capita crime rate is higher in urban areas.

 

[Cardinal]

Red states have much higher Black populations than blue states.

Sounds like right wing governing policies aren't good for shit then.

I live right in downtown Chicago and have only been murdered twice.

So its safer than you think.

 

[Cardinal]

That the per capita crime rate is higher in urban areas.

So show me the breakdown then. Let's see how those cities compare against towns, from state to state.

Twelve states are ahead of Illinois in violent crime rates, which is the OP's point.

40% of Mississippi is black.
