Racism in the United States: By the Numbers

Thank for edicating other white people. U are changing the situation by your efforts
All I see is blacks being racists . Every time there is a gas station robbery it in African American . Many people I personally know including one white person got robbed by an African American . BLM thugs act like it their right to rob .
“Data is cold in a way people are not”
Are you taking into account prior arrests and convictions in your sentencing Data because that makes a huge difference in length of a sentence.
"Body of evidence"
John was a Sloppy boy
Literally all of this data is outdated.

Maybe a follow up video?

How bout a video about lying with statistics?
Beacon NY acts like it’s not a racial community. Theee most racist area in nys that I’ve been In. These racist go through your garbage. Leave hateful voicemails and will tamper with my ongoing disability process by causing loud outrages noises in front of my home, walk all over your property and say things like gorilla. They damage packages and you’ll find hard objects in food.
As a professional statistician, it is easy to see massive errors in analysis. For instance, the first point is blacks have 20% longer sentences, but overlooks known disparities in economic status. If we go into the analysis knowing of an economic disparity and knowing that higher priced lawyers are usually better than free public defenders, it isn't hard to see that factor accounts for some of this 20%. How much? I dunno, but certainly, to ignore it is an error. What about other factors that feed into sentence time like prior convictions? It is obvious to a statistician that ignoring all other factors is an error in this case.
You didn't link the book
You're doing gods work
For most of the bigots, I do not believe it's a matter of them not believing systemic racism exists. I think they don't care that it exists or even want it to exist, but they don't want the flak of being honest about it. So the next best thing is denial.
Here it is, 7 years after you published this, and the gop is running hard on denialism of racism, encouraging fear and hatred of The Woke Agenda and CRT.
The GOP systemically denies racism. And they win.
I agree with pretty much everything said here except the name bit it could have been a correlation and not causation. I guess I think those making those hiring choices might have thought more common names would resonate better with their clientele. Tldr I think not hiring based on names might and I mean might have less to do with race and possibly more to do with thinking a non traditional name wouldn't track well with the clientele. Meaning a Jamal might have been denied for the same reason as a Freedom. Yeah I've known people named Freedom it's a dumb name. And again I'm not saying it isn't systemic racism I'm just just saying a non traditional name doesn't help regardless if it's origin in nontraditional form regardless of race. If it's not clear basically I think people in charge of hiring favor people with more commonly recognizable names so if an applicant has a name that's seems to related to a specific race then it might just be the name itself that prevents hiring not the race of the individual. Which is also terrible I'm just saying when it comes to names it could just be the name and not the race... Again I could be entirely wrong just seems to me if the name is the reason the race might not even be considered and I'm not defending that practice either
Bruh your full of shit. There are so many real factors you dont mention
Fake news , look at the arrest records and how long they are, ,Better yet this is December 20 21 they’re letting blacks out of prison is it working better for America
I was taking a break from a research project on racial bias in American prisons and policing and this was the first video youtube recommended me. I should take it as a sign to go back to said project as it is already late, but whether or not I will is still up in the air.
Why do you consider Latino a race? What makes us Latinos is our language that evolved from LATIN. In latin america you can find many races as well, there are the original indigenous race (In the US there are original indigenous races too like native Hawaiians), We also have blacks whose ancestors were also brought to our countries as slaves during colonial times and finally we have WHITE PEOPLE TOO, The descendants of the Spanish. If the White people in the USA are the descendants of the English in Latin America the white are the descendants of the Spanish.
The number one race is in the state of America is blacks blacks not another one when it comes to races and putting Black people in jail you’re number one
I wish they would stop blaming white people collectively for what a few white racist people do. I believe if you do a crime you should do the time. Don't blame me for decisions I didn't make, things I didn't say, or things that happened before I was born.
