Math is not a friend of liberals.

Never has been.

Never will be.

Somebody show me an incident where Asian, white or even Hispanic youth are playing the knockout game on someone not of their race just for “fun.” It seems to be unique to only one race. Why do you suppose that is?

Liberals know things that the rest of us find hard to believe. For example: liberals know that there are an infinite number of correct answers to the question, "2 + 2 = ?". In fact, to them the only incorrect answer is "4". They know this because they shopped around until they found a judge who confirmed this and then they made it a law based on a consensus of Democrat legislators.

Well there are numbers and there are other numbers....people tend to believe the ones they prefer.

“The study compared results from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth in 1980 and 2000, which is the latest date for which detailed data are available. Surveyors asked youth whether they had stolen, destroyed property, attacked someone or sold drugs in the last year. Of the boys between the ages of 15 and 18 surveyed in 1980, 59 percent said they had, compared to just 28 percent of similarly aged boys surveyed in 2000.

“The later generation, however, was just as likely to have been charged with a crime, and if they were charged, they were dealt with more severely. Among those charged with a crime in the earlier cohort, 35 percent were diverted out of court and 49 percent were convicted, and of those boys, just a quarter were placed in a correctional facility. Of those surveyed in 2000, only 13 percent were diverted. Sixty-one percent were convicted, and 38 percent of those were imprisoned.”

And from earlier in the WaPo piece:

“Although there were negligible differences among the racial groups in how frequently boys committed crimes, white boys were less likely to spend time in a facility than black and Hispanic boys who said they’d committed crimes just as frequently, as shown in the chart above. A black boy who told pollsters he had committed just five crimes in the past year was as likely to have been placed in a facility as a white boy who said he’d committed 40.

“More recent statistics from the Department of Justice show that the juvenile justice system has continued to treat black boys more harshly. Although the overall number of cases in juvenile court has declined sharply since 2008, blacks still account for a third of cases in juvenile court, far more than their share of the population.”

It’s not their ignorance of math but their aptitude for lying.
