This is fun; let's keep going.You are having reading comprehension problems. I never said that black people were a greater threat to white people than the threat to white people from other white people. What I said was, and I don't know why I repeat it if you won't read it anyway, that black people are more likely to kill a white person than a white person is to kill a black person.
But that's only half the story so let's break down the lessons we can learn from the 246 black on white murders versus the 566 white on black murders, assuming for the sake of discussion that all murders are one person killing one other. We know that's not the whole story but I'm guessing that the multiple killings don't hugely change the averages.
I also recognize that none of these lessons go to motive or circumstance. It doesn't consider how many are cops killing bad guys, either white cop/black bad guy or black cop/white bad guy. It is a look at simply how many of one race are dying at the hands of the other race from analysis of just two numbers: 246 and 566, along with 2020 census data on population by race.
1. On average, 1 in 443,000 white people will kill a black person per year
2. On average, 1 in 182,000 black people will kill a white person per year.
3. On average, black people as a group will kill 1 out of every 1,018,000 white people every year.
4. On average, white people as a group will kill 1 out of every 79,116 black people every year.
Thus:
5. Black individuals are twice as likely to kill a white person as a white individual is to kill a black person.
6. Whites, as a group, kill a 10 times greater percentage of the black population as blacks, as a group, kill of the white population
7. The black population is hugely more at risk from white people than the white population is from black people.
Other stories passed my mind as I was writing the 7 above but they passed out of mind before I got to them so there may be even more lessons to learn from just these two numbers.
I'm not going to suggest that black men are afraid and so it might be that they are not more afraid of whites than white men are afraid of blacks, or the other way around. But I could see why black mothers might be more afraid of white people than white mothers might be of black people. It would sure be great if no mother had to be afraid someone else was going to hurt their child.
I remember one lesson - let's call it 2.1. On average, a black individual is over twice as likely to kill a white person as a white individual is to kill a black person.
So, that;'s the white on black and black on white. The numbers, by the way, for the last post and this post come from:
Expanded Homicide Data Table 6
ucr.fbi.gov
The population numbers from the 2020 census come from:
Population by race in the U.S. 2022 | Statista
This graph shows the population of the U.S. by race and ethnic group from 2000 to 2022.

In 2019, there were 2594 homicides of white people by white people. In the same year, there were 2574 homicides of black people by black people, a difference of just 20.
So what are the lessons we can learn from these two numbers. Just as in the last post, no consideration for multiple killings, etc., were made nor any consideration for motive, circumstance, law enforcement, etc.
1. on average, 1 out of 17,397 black people will kill a black person each year.
2. the same number, 1 out of 17,397 black people will be killed by another black person each year.
3. on average, 1 out of 96669 white people will kill a white person each year.
4. the same number, 1 out of 96669 white people will be killed by another white person each year.
5. a black person is more than 5 times more likely to die at the hands of a black person than a white person is to die at the hands of a white person.
