Your reading comprehension skills are failing you again. I simply
pointed out using extremely small sample sizes will return strange
results.
Do you look at every black person as being 14 times more likely to
kill you than a white person? That is what the statistics say
If you were black, looking at other black people, the ratio is even
worse.
.
Your statistic about 48 people killed in 14 years gets lost in the
noise of ~165,000 murders.
My reading comprehension skills are fine. We don't need a statistical
analysis to show that there are more right-wing white boys committing
acts of terror, such as last week's in Charleston, than there are
Muslims committing similar acts. The results aren't strange. The
Southern Poverty Law Center keeps track of violent right-wing groups.
There are hundreds and hundreds of them in this country, with really
itchy trigger fingers. Your boys, on your side of the political fence.
The general murder stats in this country are horrific, no question about
it, but that wasn't what I was discussion. You are more than welcome to
start a thread about that so that your boys here can chime in.
When you are citing murder statistics,to make your case, how are
murder statistics insignificant?
If you are willing to remember my first thoughts on this killing, I
suggested that they should consider this terrorism. Then they might be
willing to expend a fraction of the money we are spending on the
Jihadists to investigate the aryans.
Oh, and if I need help with statistics, I'll ask my wife, who took a
number of grad level stats courses and a number of Ph.D. level stats
courses. No need to consult an amateur, eh?
Maybe you should get some help.
I didn't "study" statistics, I was in the business of actually
analysing them and learning how to query databases.
Actual experience beats a sterile education environment every time.
IBM trusted me enough to base million dollar decisions on the
conclusions I generated.
I was not citing murder statistics, just a count of incidents.
Statistics as I am sure you know, involves much more than a simple count.
Wow. You could query a database. BFD. The "study" of statistics includes
analysis and queries.
And????? What else?????
