Black people are 13% of the population, and white people are 62% of the population However, black people account for 27.2% of all arrests in 2014 (These stats are from the FBI crime statistics. Feel free to double check me.)

While white people tend to kill more white people, and black people tend to kill more black people, we see that black people kill other black people five times as often as white people kill other white people..

It is however, dishonest to use these statistics for the purpose of racial discrimination. To say that black people are "genetically predisposed" to being criminals is very much inaccurate.

57.6% of black children live without their biological father (if that's too many words to go through, here's a little bit less of a credible, but more easily readable source.)

Poverty and economic hardship are the most influential factors in a child's life. Essentially, if a caretaker can not provide the correct emotional support and contribution toward the child's education they are more likely to be led toward a life of crime.

Black people disproportionately join gangs in comparison to white people, especially when you factor in the percentage of the population they represent. What's interesting to me is that Hispanic people are more likely to join gangs, however they're less likely than black people to commit violent crime. If I had to venture a guess, I would say that it's mostly because of Hispanic culture having such a large focus on family than black culture, but that's entirely a guess.

What bothers me about Black Lives Matter is their complete refusal to either admit or do anything about the main cause of young black men's deaths, and that's simply other young black men. Simply put, work on rebuilding the communities: Find a way to encourage fathers to stay with their children, create charities or donate to charities that help and encourage single black mothers by helping provide for an education, or at the very least paying for their child's expenses while they go to school, rather than simply focusing on things like police killing black people which doesn't happen unjustifiably as much as people thing it does.

If you honestly believe that black people are inherently violent, you're being dishonest. I'm not trying to promote a racist agenda. Poor people, people from fatherless homes, and people from your own race (be it white, Hispanic, black, asian, and so on) are more likely to commit violent crimes. Black people just tend to have more of these applicable attributes, and I'm positive that if they were reduced in black neighborhoods, you would see a reduction in violent crime among black people as a whole.
