More evidence us white guys are so oppressed. If cops don't stop killing us at a massively under-represented rate how will our race survive!
How?
You do not understand how stats work at all, yet you claim it's others who don't. As you say, blacks make up 13% while Whites make up 62%. Blacks commit 51% of all murders.
It's disproportianiate. That's because, as a group, black people commit more crime. That also means they go to jail more often.
What is hard to understand? You did step 1 and never went to step 2 or 3. Why? Because you don't understand how to interpret statistics? These numbers aren't debated, they are fact and well accepted. The reasons may be debated, but the results are not debated at all.
