I'm sorry about the mathematical idiot remark.

Here is what I'm saying.

I never said random sampling was the real world truth.

What I am saying is that real world stats should be compared to random sampling for statistical significance and when you do that fieros stats are less significant than looking at them at first blush.

I don't argue with anything that you just said. When the stats don't agree then assumptions must be questioned. That was the argument that I myself was trying to make.

Crime should never be assumed to be random.

"What I am saying is that real world stats should be compared to random sampling for statistical significance and when you do that fieros stats are less significant than looking at them at first blush."

That stat is white male on black female rape as a percentage of all rapes. I have read that the actual numbers of such rapes are as few as 5-10 a year, spiking as high as 20. Statistically, that won't even show up when figured in to all rapes. Whatever the reasons behind that were not relevant to my point. My point was to discount someone quoted in the artice referring to the "historic abuses of black women" by white males. That's simply not true. Then I see some quote from an artice about white males obsession with black women. Keep dreaming. The lies, comments and outright racial hatred coming from "The Victim"'s camp is disgusting. The sad part is, they know she's lying. They KNOW it. They just don't care. This is a power play for them.

I didn't mean to come off harshly. I thought I was being accused of manipulating data to get the results I wanted. Not so.
