That's a fair question. According to FBI homicide statistics for 2018 [1] and US demographics [2], the Black homicide rate per 100k is 7.9, while the White+Hispanic rate [3] is 1.2. The female (of all races) homicide rate is 0.42. So the Black homicide rate is 6.7x higher than the White+Hispanic rate, while the White+Hispanic homicide rate is 2.8x higher than the female (all races) rate. Edit: A different source [4] gives different figures, but these are "age adjusted": 20.9 for non-Hispanic Blacks, and 2.6 for non-Hispanic Whites.

[3] The FBI counts Hispanics as White, and has a separate 'Ethnicity' category where they mark Hispanic or Latino. Assuming all Hispanics in that table were counted as White yields an even lower White homicide rate.
