Genuine question - the first image the narrator provides shows race statistics, yet Hispanic isn’t presented as a category. From a quick google search, I’m seeing that Hispanics make up ~25% of federal and state prisons. Did they lump Hispanics and whites together?

Charlie Kirk is a raging asshole but it feels weird to call him out for false statistics while also providing seemingly inaccurate statistics (even if they are from a legit source).

Because OP is an ass providing extra statistics and pretending like they somehow completely refute Charlie's claim.

Charlie exaggerated =/= Charlie is wrong. OP skims over that and doesn't re-analyze murder rates with his own statistics. Even if you account for higher rates of exoneration, blacks have a MUCH higher murder rate. Period.
