Despite making up 13.4% of the population, using 2019 crime statistics, blacks make up 51% of all murderers Despite making up 13.4% of the population, using 2019 crime statistics, blacks make up 52.7 of all robbers Despite making up 13.4 of the population, using 2019 crime statistics, 26.4% of all crimes that led to an arrest were commited by blacks! That's out of proportion by nearly 2x! Meanwhile, whites make up 76.3 of the population, while they commited 64.9% of the crimes in 2019. Many people like to blame these statistics on a need to do crime out of a poor eceonomy in the neighborhoods black people tend to live in--However, Beatyville is the poorest white city based on median household income, with 98.99% of it's population being white, and it's crime rate is better than 85% of other American cities!And, before you say "But that has nothing to do with black crime rates!", the richest black city, Atlanta, has a very high crime rate!

That means that roughly 3-4% of the US population (Black men) is responsible for all that crime.
Not racist, just facts.
Seems about right. The amount of times blacks were arrsted in 2019 is about the same number as 2% of the black population.
