If you can't comprehend simple English, you're not going to get this.
Was your reply about people being stopped and having weed, along with the numbers you used statistically based? No, you made it up.
Did your reply address my reply to your question about white violence? No, it did not.

My reply was allegorical but not untrue. Black people are disproportionately stopped for no reason. Therefor we can't know that black people are more prone to criminality than white people.

What about the violence committed everyday by white people?

It's disproportionately low.

But how exactly do we know that?
If 1,000 black people are stopped in NYC for no reason and half of them have weed on them but only 500 white people are stopped for no reason and 400 of them have weed on them, it's easy to say well more black people are arrested for weed than white people.
The data sets aren't the same therefor an accurate picture can't be painted.

Increasing Stop and Frisk by stopping as many white people as black people isn't the answer. Eliminating Stop and Frisk is the answer. Policing black people as infrequently as white people is the answer.
You proposed stopping as many white people as black people... in other words increasing the police state. My reply addressed that, not deflected it.
You want to jump on a beef someone else has with me, clearly... but you're doing back bends to do so.

An allegorical statement meant to point out disproportionate policing of black people vs white people moved the goal post?

As stated, Ohio is an open carry state. You can legally walk into Wal-Mart with a rifle strapped on. So what was so different about John Crawford that he couldn't pick up merchandise sold in the store without losing his life?
i live in ohio. been here for 20 years and have never 1 time seen anyone open carry even though it is legal.
you make it seem like all sorts of people run around with guns visible and that is not true.
reason being, it freaks people out and you get the attention of the cops.
thats a fact

That doesn't prove anything... correlation does not prove causation.
