a little gift for the redditors before the OP is ready
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!
