It is not racist to point out that 12 percent of the US population is black yet 50 percent of all murders are committed by blacks, nor is it racist to note that in all categories of violent crime blacks account for 30 percent or more of those criminals.Further it is NOT racist to point out that black communities do NOT care and do nothing to help themselves from this rampant crime. In fact they complain when the cops are forced to shoot a black criminal while he is committing a crime.
Pointing out stats is not inherently racist. However, the context those stats are presented in, the intention behind pointing them out, certainly can be racist.
Saying black communities do not care and do nothing to help themselves may not be racist, but it certainly is a generalization or stereotype at the least.
The problem is no such stats are mentioned.
