Gohan: Your attitude is dangerous. You may not be a rapist, but your acceptance of thier behavior in the form of "it ain't me doin it" is deplorable.
I'm afraid i do not understand your insinuation. I have never once accepted this behavior, nor will I ever. Our disagreement lies with the interpretation of the statistics and what they mean.
The fact that i disagree with your interpretation does not mean I accept such behavior. i have already made it quite clear(rather repeatedly, I must say) that the ratio of black on white vs. white on black crime is incredibly disparate and most definitely abhorrent. That is not acceptable.
However, when it comes to the interpretation of these statistics, I don't believe they are condusive to your insinuation. They simply don't provide enough support for it.
Therein is the difference in our views.
If you genuinely cared you would take back your community from the rapists, murderers and thieves that force you to live in fear. Your lack of care is what gives them strength.
So, because I disagree with your interpretation of these statistics, I don't care?
Here is how much i "care":

A long URL, but bare with me. It was a debate on black planet about Don Imus-I am user "DanteXavier".
Just follow the debate. Go ahead-get an idea of what I think before you decide I "don't care".
Here is even more. For this site, you have to sign in to view the forums-so, i simply created a dummy account for you to view it.

This one is about rap and the black community. i think its bad; the opponent thinks it a-ok.

In each thread, just go in and follow the discussions. You'll figure out how much I "care".
The issue is not about me caring about what's going on in black communities. Oh, trust me, i care, and I am opinionated about in such a way that it puts me in opposition to about 80% of the black community in America.
However, when it comes to these statistics, I disagree with your base interpretation of it. You believe that they should mean that whites should be more wary of blacks than other whites. i believe thatsuch a view should only be adopted if blacks were to be the majority of white attackers. As it turns out, they are not-whites are.
Personally, i don't believe that warrants more vigilence towards one side. I believe that warrants equal vigilence towards both. It doesn't seem logical given these facts to tell people to look at blacks mores so than whites, especially when all the stats show that whites are the more likely attackers of whites.
My holding that view does not imply that i somehow "do not care". it implies that I have a different(and in my opinion, quite valid) interpretation of this when compared to yourself. That doesn't mean i think the rape is a-ok: it means I think that there should not be disproportionate vigilence with regards to black rapists vs. white rapists given the information I've already shown in this thread.
Both are equally pressing issues, and it doesn't seem quite correct to try and say that whites should be so much more wary of blacks than whites-that almost makes it sound as though whites are more likely to be attacked by a black person than a white one, and that is simply not the case.
