This issue is more intelligently discussed on Quora -- for instance:
"Mark Tarte , Retired police sergeant, college instructor & veteran
Blacks at 13% commit more murders than the other 87% combined,
according to the FBI UNIFORM crime report. Should these stats even be published? Why or why not?
Yes they should be. It points to a national tragedy that no politician
or “community leader” wants to acknowledge, which is the murder
victims are also young Black men and they account for an average of
50% of all victims of murder each year.
88.6% of offenders against murdered Blacks were also Black. This trend
also is prevalent in other races, white on white, Hispanic on
Hispanic, etc. But those murdered victims are not disproportionate to
their percentage of the population.
The issue is the sheer numbers of murdered victims. 2019 is the last
year available from the FBI.
There were over 6900 murders. Of those, 44% of the victims were Black,
or 2906 victims. 13% of the population accounts for 44% of the victims
of murder. Think about that. A segment of our society accounts for
more than three times of their percentage of that society as victims
of a homicide.
That is the tragedy and ask yourself this. When was the last time you
saw any politician at any level talking about this?"
