Data Point - Did BLM Not Realize They Might Be Incriminating Their Own?

Lies, dang lies, and Statistics. Often, depending on how the data was picked and then presented, you can make something appear to be the opposite of what it is in real life.

And then, there’s Stupidity. If the logo in the lower left-hand corner is to be believed (BLM), I agree with the creator’s comment:

If 87% of the population is only committing 48% of the crime, then 13% of the population is committing 52% of the crime.

And when you eliminate the “whites, hispanics, asians, and natives” as the chart states, what’s the minority that’s left?

So, BLM what WERE you trying to say? Confirmation of the conventional wisdom? Or are you going to blame the FBI for the stats that you willingly used?
