I found this interesting. I was notified that my post was cross posted onto rDrama. Interesting response, both on this subreddit and the greater internet.
Not surprised but it's definitely disappointing. I would write this off as trolling and ignore it, if it weren't for my fellow students pushing similar rhetoric. So based on the response to my thread on this subreddit and online, I guess the answer to my original question is no? I intended to have an honest dialogue, but it seems genuinely impossible to bring up this topic without people resorting to low-hanging racial attacks. I gave up once I realized I wouldn't find honest discussions under my post. I find it pretty sad that our online discourse has become…this.
All I asked was for our conversations to take place without 4chan racial dog whistles. I asked for more thoughtfulness when it comes to blaming the entire black race for the actions of individual criminals. No, you don't need to bring up "National FBI homicide statistics" every time a single black person commits a crime (that isn't homicide). Believe it or not, it's not actually relevant. Me suggesting that "13/50" doesn't need to be brought up in largely unrelated contexts, every single time a black person commits a crime, is apparently denying the "truth" and preventing necessary discourse. Sure lol.
Although 13/50 is a misleading (and inaccurate) statistic, I just want to make this point. Even if a statistic is "true" (all statistics are reductive), that doesn't make the statistic useful to mention in all contexts, that doesn't mean the statistic cannot be used for propagandistic reasons, and that doesn't mean any argument being made, using the statistic as support, is true. If you use "13/50" to suggest that the average black person needs to be treated with caution, regardless of their conduct, or that the Black community at large encourages violent crime and is out to get you — no that's not "true".
Let's not let racial resentment and right-wing propaganda get in the way of having honest and fair discussions.

/u/i_disappoint_parents I just want you to know that we need MORE "racism" against wh*te people, not less. And yes, if you really are lightskin, you count as a filthy wh*te and you are NOT welcome in the bipoc community.
Please keep yourself safe!
Love,
Borpa

Answer me this, if Black people are as low-IQ as chuds claim, then how do we fathom them carrying out that most fiendish of human endeavours, engaging in that art which has forever perplexed all societies since Cain struck Abel over the noggin and which has ever brought mockery to the very notion that we might achieve goodness on the realization of our own wisdom, or by any means other than by the grace of a forgiving God. I speak, naturally, of that process of transforming themselves into veritable Moriarties so as to lay ready the board for that cunning game of cat and mouse which cycles endlessly between crook and constable and which has thus cycled since the very first sparks of so-called civilisation, a game forever entwining networks of false starts, riddles, red herrings, clues, conundrums, capers, ciphers, traps, transgender prostitutes, and trials for our noble men of Scotland Yard to unravel! Crime! I speak of crime!
