Black Americans commit more violent crimes than any other racial group in the United States.

Accuracy Alert!

Based on reliable sources such as the FBI's official data and statistics provided by the Bureau of Justice Statistics, the claim that 'Black Americans commit more violent crimes than any other racial group in the United States' is incorrect. The FBI's Table 43 indicates that white individuals were arrested more often for violent crimes, accounting for 59.1 percent of those arrests. Statistics revealing that Black Americans are more likely to face wrongful convictions and disproportionate incarceration rates do not necessarily correlate to committing more violent crimes, but rather indicate systemic issues within criminal justice proceedings. The context and nuances of crime statistics are therefore vital in understanding patterns of crime among different racial and ethnic groups.

And just to be clear, I don't think Black Americans commit more violent crimes than any other racial group. I was testing Accuracy Alerts.

Anyway to make that "Accuracy Alert!" come up with the original post so one doesn't have to tap on the post to see the alert?

I don't want to break another display swinging at such posts.

I kid, I kid...

What a great feature! It would be interesting to have the accuracy check for our own viewing, to maybe check stories in the news feed or anything else we wonder about.

White men commit the most crimes and yet people of color are the largest demographic in prisons.

That test worked well, is it automated? Like I could say that Astronauts were held on Moon by the weight of their boots. And it would generate an alert?

This Accuracy Alert might be the very thing we need to save us from the overwhelming avalanche of misinformation being vomited all over SM.
