13% of America is African American, yet they make up 25% of crime.
13% of America is of African ancestry, this is true. But the portion that matters isn't black children aged twelve and under of either gender. It's not elderly/retirees of either gender. It's not college-educated professional people [excluding professional athletes] of either gender. Generally, it's not women of any age, though I'm sure there are some women hidden in the statistics.
The portion that matters is black men somewhere in the teens through the late forties - roughly 6% of the total population, at best - that's driving the statistics.
