In order for whites to be equal in violent crime, they would have to have committed six times more violent crimes than blacks.
Not really... because proportional statistics doesn't give an accurate account of who is committing the most violent crimes in certain areas. If whites are committing 3 times more violent crimes in metro counties than Blacks are, you are 3 times more likely to encounter violence form a White person than a black in in metro counties. The national rate may be different but table 55a underscores the White crime in metro counties.
If 80% of the people in anyplace are white, then of course it stands to reason the majority will be responsible for unfortunate events. Your claim is just as ridiculous as saying that more whites drop out of school than blacks. Well no shit! If most people are white in any given area, then of course you're going to have more whites than blacks dropping out of school, or failing school, or getting pregnant, or being from a single-parent home. But it's fudged numbers because only per capita numbers tell the real truth which I know you don't want to face.
Our lottery used to run commercials that most people who hit the lottery had the machine pick their numbers for them. But most people who play do have the machine pick their numbers, so it only stands to reason that more people hit who used auto-lotto. The machine is no more luckier than you are.
