How much of that is due to conviction rates? As a middle-aged white guy I can get away with shitloads more than any black man.

Some of it, I'm sure, but the fact that black homicide victim rates are in line with black conviction rates does point to a higher underlying level of crime. The vast majority (80-90%) of homicides of white and black people are white-on-white and black-on-black.
