I have provided my evidence and rationale. If you can't handle providing a meaningful response to it, and resort to this low-effort dismissal, it says more about your confidence in your own argument than it does about my argument.
Oh you've provided much more than that lol

And I think you're assigning me malicious motiviations, and ignoring valid research that doesn't support your own prejudices. To be painstakingly clear about what I'm saying here: while the 2R MAO-A allele is more common among black males than in other groups, it's only present in a single-digit percentage of even that most-affected group. Of all those men with the allele, most don't commit any crime. Only The troubl…
I don’t believe you have malicious intent. What you’ve posted tells me I was exactly on point with what you’re getting at. I’m familiar with race realism, science used to support it, and the people who believe in it. I believe you’re probably well-intentioned, but you know what they say about that. > recent crime spikes in American cities for examples, where de-policed minority communities have been among the hardest…
>but how can you list so many studies and still assert something widely untrue like the “de-policed minority communities”
To illustrate how wrong you are with just a few examples:
* Portland abolished their gun violence unit in 2020 in response to the George Floyd protests. Gun homicides have soared as a result to their highest level in 30 years, mostly in minority communities [0].
* While violent crime soared in Chicago last year, also chiefly in minority communities, arrest rates for violent crime fell. The UChicago crime lab attributes this in part to a "pulling back of proactive policing" [1].
* "In a reversal of plans to divert funding from police to social services, Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf said Monday that she'll push to reverse planned cuts to the city's police department and seek to quickly hire more officers amid a spike in violence and homicides that has left some residents afraid to leave their homes" [2].

I'm not interested in race chauvanism, race-based nationalism, or racist politics generally. I support colorblind policy with class-based affirmative action, and the vigorous enforcement of laws against racial discrimination.
>I'm not interested in engaging with you further.
Good, I'm done responding to your repeated falsehoods and bad-faith accusations. Thanks for revealing your true nature to the reader.
