That you're too lazy and ignorant to do the math necessary to get an accurate opinion.
OK Racists, It's Time to do the Math.
The claim has been consistently made that blacks are 13 percent of the population but commit 50 or more percent of the crime. That is inaccurate but the racists want to talk shit about per capita. When shown that per capita reveals that the difference between blacks and white per capita is 6...www.usmessageboard.com
Black people commit more crime per capita than other groups.
According to the FBI stats you referenced, blacks accounted for 55.9% of all homicide offenders in 2019, with whites accounting for 41.1%, and "Other"/Unknown accounting for 3.0% in cases where the race was known. Among homicide victims in 2019 where the race was known, 54.7% were black or African-American, 42.3% were white, and 3.1% were of other races. The per-capita offending rate for African-Americans was roughly six times higher than that of whites, and the victim rate is a similar figure. Most homicides were intraracial; where the perpetrator's race was known, 81% of white victims were killed by whites and 91% of black or African-American victims were killed by African-Americans.

Black people are targeted by law enforcement and are treated more harshly at every step in the criminal justice process than whites - from being profiled, arrested, charged, convicted and sentenced
Using rich data linking federal cases from arrest through to sentencing, we find that initial case and defendant characteristics, including arrest offense and criminal history, can explain most of the large raw racialdisparity in federal sentences, but significant gaps remain. Across the distribution, blacks receive sentences that are almost 10 percent longer than those of comparable whites arrested for the same crimes. Most of this disparity can be explained by prosecutors’ initial charging decisions,particularly the filing of charges carrying mandatory minimum sentences. Ceteris paribus, the odds of black arrestees facing such a charge are 1.75 times higher than those of white arrestees
