 I think hateful people have this notion that everyone secretly agrees with them but they’re too afraid of woke to say anything- like no pookie, you’re not brave or brutally honest you’re racist 💀

All the bigots who agree with each other are usually very vocal about it but they’re like “god, SOMEBODY has to say what we’re all thinking” no you guys are the only ones thinking that

Can a statistic be racist? People on the far right or left or authoritarian/libertarian side of the spectrum are often the loudest and it gives people the illusion that many people agree with these things but in reality, most people are somewhere in the middle. That being said when politicians cannot agree on what a problem is. They will probably not make any progress towards addressing it.

Honestly people can manipulate statistics to say virtually anything if they’re being disingenuous about it. (Ex. One of the days with the lowest crime rates is consistently Mother’s Day. Therefore, it’s clear moms are out of control and we need to do something about them) so a statistic can absolutely be racist lol, but other than that I know most people aren’t racist, my whole point is most bigoted ppl think the opposite way

People don’t want to be ‘bad people’ or anything, so they’re just convinced they’re the only ones who are brave enough to say what EVERYONE is thinking, when in reality 90% of people aren’t thinking that and they’re the hateful person.

Thats a strange example mostly because nobody has ever tried to prove this point The odds of dying from gun violence is 1 and 8000 according to a 2021 statistic if a city sees that number go from 1 in 8000 to 2 in 8000 they will say it has doubled but your personal risk just went from 0.012% to 0.025%. So yes, the way you frame a statistic can be intellectually dishonest.

I don’t think using words like “doubled” is really dishonest, even if the probability is small. The only exception might be if the sample population is so small that the “doubling” is just random statistical noise, but in the US there are thousands of murders every year so if the rate doubled it wouldn’t be due to random chance.

Its dishonest to use this stat to push policy just to get headlines that has been proven to be ineffective instead of just enforcing the laws we already have and then no one wants to admit their wrong so when it fails, they just double down (more gun laws) and say it wasn’t enough and we should do more of the thing that didn’t work. Eight of the largest cities in Ohio saw a decrease in gun violence after constitutional carry was passed. Critics insisted it would lead to chaos and it didn’t.

I have not really dug into the data on the impact of gun laws when enacted in the Us, but it seem like your issue is with the conclusions people are drawing from that statistic, the statistics itself is honest and you just disagree that it’s a good justification for gun control.
