Nazis Can’t Do Math: Reflections on Racism, Crime and the Illiteracy of Right-Wing Statistical Analysis
I'll let Tim Wise do the talking. Now just remember he's white before you start whining about me hating all white people. And no, he's not some guilt riddled liberal, which is the excuse you use to diss white who actually are not racists.

Remember, white supremacists are hoping to scare white people into believing that they are at serious risk of homicidal victimization at the hands of black people. But what are the facts?
Well, to begin, 704 whites killed by blacks, as a percentage of the white population in 2010 (196.8 million) was a whopping 3.6 ten-thousandths of one percent (0.00036) of all whites who were killed by a black person that year. This comes out to about 1 white person out of every 277,000 who were killed by a black person in 2010. Quite the risk, that. Clearly sufficient to justify a generalized fear of being interracially murdered by a black person…
Oh, except, here’s the problem: any given black person is far more likely to be interracially murdered by a white person than that. 413 blacks killed by whites, as a percentage of the black population in 2010 (42 million) was 1 one-thousandths of a percent (0.001) of all blacks who were killed by a white person that year. This equates to about 1 black person out of every 100,000 who were killed by a white person in 2010.
In other words, although interracial homicides are incredibly rare in either direction, any given black person in the United States is about 2.8 times more likely to be killed by a white person than any given white person is to be murdered by a black person.

Your per capita argument is just as full of holes now as it was in 2010. The number of blacks killed by whites as a percentage of our population are far higher than whites being killed by blacks.
You want to talk about math, stats, rate and probability. In each case, your racist argument is a loser.
1 white person out of every 277,000 whites killed by blacks. 1 out of every 100,000 blacks were killed by whites. Blacks are almost 3 times more likely to be killed by whites than otherwise based on our population. You want to play per capita, but you still lose because it shows what everything else shows:
WHITES ARE MORE VIOLENT THAN ANYONE ELSE!
