> It is a trivial excercise to find kids that grew up just like me but black, who experience violence levels unheard of where I grew up & the only demographic difference is race. The idea that its only "criminals" who suffer from American urban violence is so trivially refuted that no one who studies it seriously considers it credible. Spend the trivial effort and show me. > Yet on one of the most affluent tech boards in the world its considered normal to argue the opposite. What does affluent and tech have to do with anything? Let's spin this another way. By every metric you can come up with, young black men are more likely to commit homicide, deal drugs, skip out on child support, and be incarcerated than any one else, and the only demographic differnce is race. It has nothing to do with their criminal affiliation. Once you start going against the social narrative, things get interesting.
