White on white crimes are 5x common than black on white crimes. It's obvious cherry-picking.

  And the lynchings maaku described are less common today than drowning in a swimming pool. What's your point? Note that I linked to it for the content of the first data table. My link is not an endorsement of every single viewpoint that someone at that URL might hold - I actually just spent 2 minutes googling for a fact I had seen before and pasted the first link that had the data table.

  >White on white crimes are 5x common than black on white crimes. It's obvious cherry-picking. If there are twice as many whites as blacks or 10 times as many whites as blacks would vastly change how your figure could be interpreted.

  That isn't how they are being compared though - nor is it relevant. You want to compare black on white crimes to white on black crimes. Not white on white crimes. Across all races - they primarily commit crime against their own race. But some races receive more crime than they give. Adjusted for population (there are far more white people than black people) there should be about equal white on black crime as black on white crime per capita. That isn't the case and is precisely what the data reads. What is important isn't to jump to conclusions but rather investigate why. Which nobody wants to do unless they get labeled as a racist.
