This weekly roundup thread is intended for all culture war posts. 'Culture war' is vaguely defined, but it basically means controversial issues that fall along set tribal lines. Arguments over culture war issues generate a lot of heat and little light, and few deeply entrenched people ever change their minds. This thread is for voicing opinions and analyzing the state of the discussion while trying to optimize for light over heat.
Optimistically, we think that engaging with people you disagree with is worth your time, and so is being nice! Pessimistically, there are many dynamics that can lead discussions on Culture War topics to become unproductive. There's a human tendency to divide along tribal lines, praising your ingroup and vilifying your outgroup - and if you think you find it easy to criticize your ingroup, then it may be that your outgroup is not who you think it is. Extremists with opposing positions can feed off each other, highlighting each other's worst points to justify their own angry rhetoric, which becomes in turn a new example of bad behavior for the other side to highlight.
We would like to avoid these negative dynamics. Accordingly, we ask that you do not use this thread for waging the Culture War. Examples of waging the Culture War:
-
Shaming.
-
Attempting to 'build consensus' or enforce ideological conformity.
-
Making sweeping generalizations to vilify a group you dislike.
-
Recruiting for a cause.
-
Posting links that could be summarized as 'Boo outgroup!' Basically, if your content is 'Can you believe what Those People did this week?' then you should either refrain from posting, or do some very patient work to contextualize and/or steel-man the relevant viewpoint.
In general, you should argue to understand, not to win. This thread is not territory to be claimed by one group or another; indeed, the aim is to have many different viewpoints represented here. Thus, we also ask that you follow some guidelines:
-
Speak plainly. Avoid sarcasm and mockery. When disagreeing with someone, state your objections explicitly.
-
Be as precise and charitable as you can. Don't paraphrase unflatteringly.
-
Don't imply that someone said something they did not say, even if you think it follows from what they said.
-
Write like everyone is reading and you want them to be included in the discussion.
On an ad hoc basis, the mods will try to compile a list of the best posts/comments from the previous week, posted in Quality Contribution threads and archived at /r/TheThread. You may nominate a comment for this list by clicking on 'report' at the bottom of the post and typing 'Actually a quality contribution' as the report reason.

Notes -
I am not sure that this is exactly news.
Some of the discrepancy is because white women make up a greater pct of possible victims. Eg: If a city of 1000 people is 80% white and 20% black, and blacks are twice as likely to commit a crime as whites (say, 10% of whites commit a crime each year, versus 20% of blacks), and victims are chosen at random, then whites will rape 64 white women and 16 black women per year, while blacks will rape 32 whites and 8 blacks per year. Of course, most rapes are intra-racial, but OTOH, if you look at page 4 here, the average white person lives in a neighborhood that is about 10% black, while the average black person lives in a neighborhood that is about 30% white. And, I am pretty sure that the average black person is far more likely to work in a heavily white area than the average white person is to work in a heavily black area. So, while the article says that "For Blacks to attack Whites, they would have to go out of their way to some White (or Asian etc.) area," that seems actually to be more true for whites.
I don't see a source for the data in the linked article, but some of the data looks very odd. For example, the number of white victims of robbery went from 195,000 in 2004 to 267,000 in 2005, while the number of black victims of robbery dropped? Then, from 2006-2007, the number of white robbery victims dropped more than 25%, while the number of black victims rose 10%? There are similarly strange numbers for rape from 2001-2002 and 2005-2006
Edit: I would also note that the linked article cites evidence that "White men particularly don't find Black women attractive" as a partial explanation for the disparity.
I think it's an interesting item to have people look at and then see what their response is. The one thing that usually stands out to me is that a lot of the responses don't couch this as an issue to be solved, unlike many other items of a similar nature with differing races. Gun control, for instance, only exists as a solution when you look at shootings as a problem to be solved. But that's not the response these items ever get. It's always in the vein of 'why is this here' or 'the author is racist'. The item itself is seen as a problem to be solved. Not the actual reality that it represents.
I don't understand the point being made. Some of the discrepancy is because of X. OK. How much? And what about the rest of it? Obviously blacks rape a lot. So here we can either do HBD or roundabout justifications for why the white folk are just reaping what they sowed. Or is there a third position?
The third position is that neither of those is relevant. When Willie Sutton was asked why he robbed banks, he didn't say "because of my genes" nor "because the banks are reaping what they sow," but rather, "because that's where the money is."
White women are where the pussy be, in this case? That doesn't make sense for explaining the difference in rates.
I mean the obvious explanation is that rapists are at least partly motivated by lust and white women are more attractive than black women to a statistically significant average.
Both of those things seem obvious to me.
