In this case it means you keep income rate the same (by adjusting mathematically) in order to see how much race contributes to the resulting variability (differences in the number of people killed by cops). If there is very little difference once you have eliminated the effect of income, then it means race doesn't contribute much. You can do the same thing by holding the felony rate constant and seeing the impact of race. The felony rate goes up as income goes down in both the white and black population. The chances of being killed by a cop are the same for white and black people with comparable income levels and felony rates. What affects felony rates is income. So, race is not why these people are being shot. It is because they have low incomes and tend to commit more felonies. For people with higher incomes and lower felonies, white or black, the likelihood of being shot is the same regardless of race and it is less than for poor people, because they are more likely to be felons.<br /><br />You can argue that police focus too much on the poor and as a result their felony rate is higher, but you cannot say that police focus too much on black people, because that is not supported by the numbers.<br /><br />I know it is confusing to consider what the facts say instead of believing what people have been shouting for so many years. It seems like the shouts must be true because so many black people are being killed, a disproportionate number, but that is because black people are more likely to be poor and to be felons, not because they are being targeted for their blackness. <br /><br />So address the cause -- poverty and high crime. If racism contributes to poverty by all means attack it there, in employment and education, in the factors that contribute, in companies and personnel departments, in schools. It isn't happening because cops are especially racist and shoot blacks for no reason besides their race.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-82066989279083958812014-08-29T11:47:41.156-04:002014-08-29T11:47:41.156-04:00I'm confused, What should we control for?

The bottom line is that blacks are killed at a higher rate because they commit felonies at a higher rate. When you control for income level, white and black people are killed at the same rate by cops.<br /><br />That means racism is a negligible contributor to being killed by a cop. Income (low) and the likelihood of committing a felony are the main contributors. So, yes, those violent crime rates matter when it comes to explaining why blacks are being killed by cops.
