I'm going to start with an old article to debunk a long told lie here.
Interracial homicides have reached levels not seen since president Barack Obama first took office, when rates began a period of steady decline, according to the latest statistics from the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Most notably, white-on-black killings spiked by 22.5 percent between 2014 and 2015 after years of mostly trending downward. Killings of whites by African Americans increased by 12.2 percent, while black-on-black and white-on-white killings increased only slightly—by just 7.9 percent and 3.5 percent, respectively—between 2014 and 2015, after mostly falling since 2008. Overall, more than twice as many black-on-white homicides occurred compared with white-on-black homicides.
To be sure, homicides in which the offender and victim were of the same race have vastly outnumbered interracial homicides for the past ten years. FBI data show that while 500 black-on-white killings and 229 white-on-black killings were reported in 2015, 2,574 homicides were committed by whites against other whites, and 2,380 by blacks against blacks.

We all have seen the charts and running commentary. But that commentary and those charts are fake news.
It's no small coincidence that white on black killings increased 10.3 percentage points more than black on white killings during the terms of the first black president.
"White-on-black killings spiked by 22.5 percent between 2014 and 2015. Killings of whites by African Americans increased by 12.2 percent."
This is not mentioned in the commentaries. And it's funny how we don't see the, "well there are more tes so the number should be higher" argument coming from the people who use that to excuse how whites commit more crimes. Bet even with that out of a country with over 200 million whites at that time, 500 were killed by blacks. Meanwhile in that same year:
2,574 homicides were committed by whites against other whites
That's 5 whites killed by another white for every white killed by someone black.
So while blacks did kill 2 times more whites than whites killed blacks, look at the numbers.
FBI data show that while 500 black-on-white killings and 229 white-on-black killings were reported in 2015.
500 to 229. Small numbers.
In this same year,
Among single-bias hate crime incidents in 2015, there were 4,216 victims of race/ethnicity/ancestry motivated hate crime.
In 2015, race was reported for 5,493 known hate crime offenders. Of these offenders:
So whites were the majority of hate crime offenders in this year and blacks were targeted 3 times more by race for hate crimes than whites. So it's easy to find a chart to race bait. It's even easier to use garbage information from so called studies like the color of crime. But the reality here is that there is no wave of blacks attacking whites and whites have more to fear from another white person.
