US crime statistics are unreliable specifically in regard to race due to the extremely well documented presence of organized white supremacist groups in US law enforcement and the judicial system, you might want to do some reading and rethink what you consider plausible before attempting to discuss the topic
That's weak as hell. There is no credible evidence that completely refutes an 8x overrepresentation in homicide crime rates and victim rates. Now if you want to make an argument that this is really a division of class and not race, and the numbers only differ along racial lines because black people suffer much more economic hardship, sure i think thats a valid argument. But the numbers are still what they are. Over 12,000 black people died by homicide in the US in 2023 and they weren't all killed by the Klan and police officers.
Cool numbers you got there
