The tone is emotionally charged and dismissive, emphasizing moral judgment over analytical engagement, reflecting a collective stance of rejection rather than thoughtful discourse.

AgreementStrong disagreement

The majority of discussions strongly oppose the publication, explicitly calling it racist and flawed, with one poster mentioning its retraction due to controversy.

InterestNeutral interest

Posts show little genuine interest in the data or scientific discussion, mostly dismissing or criticizing the publication outright.

EngagementLow engagement

Responses are shallow or dismissive, such as labeling the research as 'grotesquely racist' or sarcastically referencing self-education and questioning motives.

ImpactLow impact

Abstract in brief

  • The study analyzed international data from 76 countries on murder, rape, and serious assault rates during 1989-1990, grouped by predominant race (Asian, Caucasian, African).
  • Results showed that countries with predominantly African populations had the highest crime rates, about twice as high as Caucasian countries and over three times higher than Asian countries.
  • Overall, African countries reported approximately 240 violent crimes per 100,000 people, compared to 75 for Caucasian countries and 32 for Asian countries.]

@jamesm1re @KINGV0NBURNER Races are biologically different from each other in a number of ways. But sure, I can show that too. Let me spin the wheel of what your response will be first though.

@StormShadux @myhighestflow @aaryapa9 @Nljigakulive @ucey_swave We have plenty of data. If you think blacks being more violent is a uniquely American problem then you’re very naive https://t.co/wsUb06w6wD
