    They don't. They are only about half of all criminals that get caught, but they are much more likely to get caught than other criminals, so they are really much less than half of all criminals.

    They don't! Inequality in society may present them as such. The biggest crimes are the genocide of Native American and slavery.

    They don't. They commit a it more than white people because they tend to be poorer and more desperate. But the vast majority of the crimes that actual harm the nation, primarily white collar crime, are committed by white people.

    I am a black man and I can tell you that crime in the black community is rising because the leftist leadership in charge of these cities is too soft on crime. Some of these thugs just need to be put in their place and have their head smashed in.
