We like to have one thread per topic so we merged a 2nd thread that was started after this one into this one. The 2nd thread had the title of "Boston Mayor accidentally sends out invite for an "Electeds of color"-only holiday party to all Boston city councilors"
First, we are talking about plans for a single workplace holiday party in Boston. It's unclear why you are bringing in your shallow interpretations of data on violence.
In any case, your statement is of course true -- in segregated areas of the US, which describes most of the country. Rates of violence are, obviously, higher in impoverished areas (which, due to systemic racism, are for the most part majority PoC). Your statement is like saying that people living in California are a higher risk of violence from Californians than New Yorkers, as if that proves something about Californian tendency toward violence.
Interestingly, and unsurprisingly, this "fact" simply isn't the case in integrated areas. Which is exactly the point. Risk of violence is driven by poverty, not blackness. Ask Appalachia what race is perpetrating the most violent crime.
Personally, in all of the (thankfully few) times I have been physically attacked by strangers, including shoves on the street or food thrown at me in a park, it was by white people shouting racial epithets.
Would you rather have some moran shout something at you or someone randomly attack you?
The rate of black on Asian crime is 278 times higher than the reverse. Black on white is nearly 15.
Twitter has reported having removed millions of instances of the n-word.
But don't let a few facts get in the way of your narrow anecdotal experience.
What percentage of those millions were uttered by black people? I suspect a majority.
I have been on it since Musk bought it and spend some time there.
Have not seen it once.
I think I will give some more credence to my own real life experience than what you claim twitter "reported".
Can you post that twitter report?
I did find the following.
Just 12 hours after Musk’s Twitter acquisition, a report from the Network Contagion Research Institute found that the use of the N-word “has increased nearly 500 percent from the previous average,” according to The Washington Post.
1. In 12 hours it increased 500%?
2. They have a report out in 12 hours?
3. Now who is the Network Contagion Research Institute?
It's almost like Twitter were attacked with a blizzard of hateful words as soon as Musk took over in an effort to demonize free speech.
“Over the last 48 hours, we’ve seen a small number of accounts post a ton of Tweets that include slurs and other derogatory terms,” Roth tweeted on Saturday. “To give you a sense of scale: More than 50,000 Tweets repeatedly using a particular slur came from just 300 accounts.” Roth continued: “Nearly all of these accounts are inauthentic. We’ve taken action to ban the users involved in this trolling campaign — and are going to continue working to address this in the days to come to make Twitter safe and welcoming for everyone.”
Which explains why I never see that word on X since I joined

Almost like the NCRI knew within 12 hours of the Musk takeover that the use of the N word was up 500% because they were behind it
Media Matters did something very similar - created accounts, specifically curated who they followed, and then kept refreshing the page so X would look bad. But most advertisers have now seen through it and returned.
Viral videos of senseless violence have captured public attention since crime began rising in 2020. Some of the most extreme examples are attacks against Asian-Americans. Earlier this year, for instance, three teens and an 11...
"While black perpetrators account for 27.5 percent of violent attacks against Asians, Asians commit less than 0.1 percent of violent attacks against blacks"
Even when adjusting for population size, there is a massive disparity. In fact, Asians are the only group for whom a plurality of violent crime is interracial (as victims, of course). But as the perpetrators are neither white nor 'white adjacent' (according to the left's victim hierarchy), this is silenced.
