The often cited statistic is that black people commit 50% of the murders. This is the common "scare" statistical claim. I am just poking holes in that claim.

You really need to go research before starting a thread like this. What a mess.

It's actually a bit higher, also the entire population is higher. Also, did you search the UCR?

Raw numbers still don't change. At the end of the day, there is no way that more than 5% of all black people are murders.

And your point is? Slamming down the guard rails of life?

I'm just giving estimates, but my numbers really aren't off like some in this thread seem to be implying.

11k murders in 2014, and if blacks commit 50% of these, that distribution is super low.

What percentage is 5,000 of 40 million?

divide 5000 by 40 million and move the decimal point two places

He doesn't even recognize the scientific method.

This is like talking to a wall.

A small fraction within only 13% of the identifiable population are committing more than ½ the murders and more than 2/3 all violent crimes. Seems obvious. What is blinding you from seeing it.

A very small percentage..

Wrong table, you are looking at victims, not offenders. There were 12k murders and 14k murderers.
