Lmao imagine putting in this much effort just to be so wrong. Imagine making any claims about people not understanding math when you literally failed first grade math. Let me do some math for you, since you’re incapable:
6,899,000 / 350,000,000 = 0.0197
With me so far? Ok now you take that number, and you multiply it by 100%:
0.0197 * 100% = 1.97% ~ 2%.
So if your data is correct, around 2% of the population is currently incarcerated. Now, the 13% of the population includes black males, females, and children of all ages. So out of those 13% of the US population, assume half are male and female (6% each). Pretty much all violent crimes (>90%) is caused by males, so ignore the females. Cut out the children and the super old, and you’re left with more like 4%. Since violent crimes almost always lead to convictions and imprisonment, this very clearly matches with 2% of the population being incarcerated and matches the statistics of people in prison by race: about 40% of prison population are black. In other words, there’s more than enough of a pool of black males in the general population that could make up the prison population, so there’s no error or contradiction in the statistics here.
So out of 2% prison population out of US population * 40% black population out of prison population =~ 1% black population out of US population.
So in reality, it’s more like 1% of the population commit 40% of the crime.
