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 people, the racists continue. So because they do so, it is time to do the math.
We will use stats from the most recent uniform crime reports Table 43-Arrests by Race/Ethnicity
I will use 2019 population numbers.
The population of U.S. in 2019 was 329,064,917.
6,816,975 people were arrested for crimes. 6,816,975/329,064,917= 0.0207162011
2 percent of the American population participated in criminal activity.
4,729,290 were white. 4,729,290/329,064,917= 0.0143719058
1.4 percent of the U.S population were whites who participated in crime.
1,815,144 were black. 1,815,144/329,064,917=0.00551606661
Just over 1/2 of 1 percent of the U.S population were blacks who participated in crime.
Whites participated in more than double the crime as blacks.
Here endeth the lesson.
