Et Tu, Discover?
It is a blog, I know, I know… Still, Discover does have a good reputation for writing and reporting on scientific issues. The are many available details to discuss about Prof. Dixon’s research and conclusions. Did we really need a gratuitous tiresome jab at Fox News?

guys guys calm down I’m a 39 yr old former USMC i luv my country but they way we’ve treated African Americans since they were brought here on slave ships is wrong I would ask ANY white person to put your self in their shoes for a day & you could not wait to be white again just think about it, after I left the Marines I took training to become a police officer I notice that our training only delt with patrol in parts if the city that were mostly black I asked why this was & was told ” they cause trouble ” I thought to myself if the police patrol the ‘burbs what would they find I’m white grew up in large city but my the first time I was offered a drug was in the ‘burbs at a friends home. our people ( white ) do as many hell probably MORE crime than blacks we just get away with it I really feel for black people if you go back thru history what did the black race do to deserve the treatment they’ve gotten thru time if anything we should hate the Germans or Japan they killed more Americans than anyone from Africa ever did all this hate will kill the US just like Rome

I think certain stories are cover different. Lets be honest we know who control media outlets. Whites are portrayed different to news media compared to Blacks. White people are more passionate to whites than black people. They scared of us, well what we could do if we came together as a community.

The correlation observed by the researchers could be equally concluded as “racist people watch more TV”. They can not disentangle cause and effect without a time series or some other econometric measure.

This “research” is a waste of time. Blacks disproportionally commit crimes in the USA, so of course they are disproportionally shown as the perpetrators in the media.

I’ve never seen a trackback do that before, sorry.

Blacks are vastly overrepresented among the criminal population. It is not racist to recognize it. It is simply fact.
