Wow! You are confused! Table 43A clearly is labeled "arrests." And yes 51% of those arrested for murder were black. However Table 3 (labeled offenders) indicates that known Black offenders commited 36.7% -\of the murders occuring in 2015.What do polls have to do with unsolved homicides? Who are you polling, the dead bodies? That 51% of arrests. vs. 36% known black offenders for homicides means thatyou've. attempted to assign several thousand unsolved homicides of black persons, which occured nationwide BTW ,
to black perps. That's a big assumption on your part. The truth is we don't know who killed those people. And your assertion that
Blacks "commited " 51% of all U.S. homicides in 2015, based on the arrest data from table 43 underlines your limited cognitive ability.
Table 3 accurately puts the known Black offender homicide rate at 36.7% of the 15, 000+ homicides for that year.
Finally...i could probably be more receptive to the notion of assigning all or most of the unknown perps of black homicides to blacks if only urban areas were involved. However, when considering those homicides from a national perspective, the spread makes other possibilities far more plausible.
Polls use sample sizes much smaller than 3/4th all the time.
So, how is it not accurate?
Of course it is, we can conclude that about 51% of murderers were Black out of over 15,000.
simply means 15% of black suspects were not verifiabe killers. Accordingly, they are innocent until proven guilty. That's one of the most sacred principles of the American justice system.
Yet, statistically curmudgeons with nefarious agendas project the race of dead bodies onto unknown killers who could, in reality, be of any. race.
The data really does support that about 51% of murderers are Black, and a number not much lower are Black murder victims.
The sample size is most certainly big enough to conclude the whole demographic.
BTW... How do you recocile the fact that the number of arrestees in table 43A is lower than actual known offenders?
