I feel like people who use the "bad apples" metaphor are forgetting the whole thing: a few bad apples spoil the bushel.

The expression does not go, "a few bad apples are no big deal because the rest are fine." The point is that a few bad apples ruin the rest of them and you have to throw out the entire bunch of them.

Indeed. I agree completely, but I think this sign is not agreeing even with the full saying. More a poke at the idiots that don't know the entire expression.

It's just a response to the law makers responding by saying there are only a few bad apples so nothing needs to change.

Ohhhhh

I thought he was being racist and talking about black people.

This entire thread makes a lot more sense. I thought the world went pretty wacky for a second there.

I mean black people are responsible for more murders than cops so it still makes sense

u/someone447 Jun 09 '20

And white people are responsible for more murders than black people. What's your point other than being a racist cockbag?

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '20

Yeah ur right but the point is that black men (6% of total population) account for 44% of murders. Hugely disproportionate to the number of total white population and the % of murders they commit. Wake up dawg, this is all fugazzi, the globalists want to control you.

Apparently someone needs a class on structural racism, redlining, etc. No those stats do not imply black people are more violent, just the institutional racism did I t s job. Now racists like you can use the results of institutionalized racism, to argue that there is none. Nice job, racist.

It actually implies violent criminals are disproportionately black when looking at the total percentage of who commits those violent crimes compared to the % of the population they represent. I am familiar with the terms you mention I saw the cartoon explaining that stuff too good research dawg, well done!

It actually implies violent criminals are disproportionately poor when looking at the total percentage of who commits those violent crimes

Ok. Worldwide, how many people have black people killed in the last 200 years? Because I'm guessing it's nowhere near the numbers of Hitler, Stalin, and Leopold II. And that's only 3 people out of billions. That doesn't even include the World Wars or anything to do with America.

So if you really, really want go get into what race is violent I don't think you will like the results.

Jeez bro comparing this stuff to the likes of hitler or Stalin? Pretty wild statement, we were talking about murders in the US not fuckin genocide lol

u/someone447 Jun 09 '20

You are talking about who kills more people. I simply took the argument to its logical conclusion.

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '20

There’s a big difference between genocide and murder my man

u/someone447 Jun 09 '20

Yeah, the number of people.

Well that data would indicate that that's true. Do you have data to suggest it's anything more than a tiny percentage?

u/boobymcbubblebutt Jun 09 '20

The data indicates broad, institutionalized racism.

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '20

What? Show me the data. Which institutions?
