I didn't do deep research into the topic but numbers that GPT5 gave me look like there is no systemic preferential treatment of blacks. You suggested more and stronger punishment. More death penalty, more life sentences. The US already has the highest incarceration rate in the world, so I'm not sure if that's what's missing. Also did you not mention preferential treatment of blacks in your prior notes - you simply stated that black males are the problem.

The US does not have the highest incarceration rate in the world: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_incarceration_rate

It's 4th, and the difference between the US and the next few dozen isn't that significant.

Also, you are assuming cause and effect. The US is a rich, well developed country with an unusually high black population due to slavery. The much simpler explanation is that the black population are much more criminally inclined. The fact that their average IQ is significantly less is explanation enough: criminality is closely tied to IQ.

There is certainly a lack of peer reviewed papers to proof your point. I hope you know that IQ is also a defined test one can improve results by training for it. It is nothing genetically fixed in the IQ-test.

When I did ask Claude for high correlations of crime and murders, then claude lists the following:

Sorry I always have a problem uploading fotos.

Claude answered:

Key socionomic factors correlated with lower murder rates:

Economic opportunity -> high correlation

Education access -> Strong correlation

Income inequality -> Direct negative correlation

Community investment -> Substantial preventive impact

Mental health support -> Significant preventife effect

😂

That's one paper analyzing extremely unusual conditions. And it's not even about IQ, which was my claim.

It is your claim. Its on you, to show your claim is credible.

Additionally does the map you shared showcase very clearly, that it is among the top incarceration rates worldwide. It is a well known thing in social science, that most prisons within the US lack models to focus on reintegration of prisoners. Prisons are rather criminal highschools, than helping those who need it the most to find a way to live a successful life, with a legal job and a house over the head.

I mean to most people it should be clear, that prisoners are some of the weakest link within society. They are not there for being very social, skilled and useful. So it is kind of obvious they need a lot of training in getting there in order to become a good neighbour after prison.

So it's the low IQ not the black skin? Why don't you propose to incarcerate the whole low IQ population instead of just the black portion?

You are just making stuff up now. I clearly proposed to enforce laws equally, and allow the results of that to happen as they may: nostr:nevent1qqst9tal7cp43rcv4k3q6t3dcsdt7e0lnsvyxqsl32vvnxvpnn2gcfgpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7q3qej493cmun8y9h3082spg5uvt63jgtewneve526g7e2urca2afrxqxpqqqqqqzymkglh

Your post at the top of the thread says "black".
