They are not the most criminal demographic in the U.S. They are the most criminally profiled demographic in the U.S. https://www.britannica.com/topic/police/Police-and-minorities https://www.britannica.com/topic/police/Police-and-minoritie... There is absolutely no justification for the recent extrajudicial murder of an unarmed black motorist by cops who shot him 60 times. There is absolutely no justification for the murder of Tamir Rice. Black people in America are overpoliced. When presented with the same crime, Black people are routinely charged more often, charged more intensely (the number and severity of the charges are higher), and convicted more often. Your ignorance on this matter is showing.

Young black males are massively overrepresented when it comes to murder convictions. Are you suggesting that murders committed by other racial groups are routinely going unpunished, or that random blacks are framed for them instead of the real perpetrators? Because if neither, your thesis about profiling does not hold water. You cannot "profile" people as murderers. They either did that or not. I don't doubt that there are some false convictions for murder even today, but either: a) blacks are really massively overrepresented among the murderers (and victims), or, if they are not, b) there is a nationwide conspiracy either not to investigate and punish non-black murderers, or to frame innocent blacks for them, that reaches the level necessary for massive manipulation of U.S. crime stats. B) would be an extraordinary claim that would need extraordinary evidence.

  c) there is another correlation - poor people are more likely to be murderers and victims of murder, and there are other systems set up to push black people into poverty

  It's crazy that you think Black people actually commit more crimes than white people.
