So, for all the people going around saying that black people commit more violent crime than white people: you are racist. Did you ever think that the black incarceration rate has anything to do with why there are more black people arrested for violent crime than whites? According to the Census Bureau, Blacks make up only 13.4% of the population, but according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons, they make up 38.3% of the prison population. Whites, on the other hand, make up 76.3% of the population, but only 57.8% of the prison population.

I could go on to quote the many studies the media are using to come to their very justified conclusions, but it's clear you're not interested. Many sociological studies demonstrate that because of how statistics are collected patch-work style in the U.S. it is difficult to make statistically valid conclusions about any race committing significantly more violent crime than any other, (because the stats rely on ARREST reports where more black communities are aggressively policed leading to a larger number of arrests) yet black people are disproportionately policed & imprisoned. Also, studies show that blacks are disproportionately the VICTIM of violent crimes. But, in 2013, the FBI statistics show that black criminals carried out 38 per cent of murders where the offender was known, compared to 31.1 per cent for whites. The offender’s race was “unknown” in 29.1 per cent of cases. That is not a huge difference (given the overrepresentation of blacks in the prison population & the underrepresentation of whites & the fact that the offender's race was unknown 29% of the time due to the data just not being collected).

Edited for clarity that was apparently needed because most people don't regularly read the research. Edits in parentheses.
