The FBI has released its national crime stats for 2019. Murder was down 0.2%.
While blacks made up 52.5% of known murder offenders from 1980-2008, their percentage continues to inch upwards, reaching 55.9% in 2019:
That means blacks were 8.2 times per capita as likely as a nonblack to be a known murder offender in 2019. (Due to continuing problems with how government agencies collect crime statistics, I’ve given up on figuring out rates for normal categories like non-Hispanic whites. But the big story with murders is blacks, so blacks vs. nonblacks will do.)
In the Black Lives Matter era, murder is becoming a black problem as it slowly fades out for the rest of the populace.
My opinion is that this incredible disparity in murder rates offers us a clue to the question wracking America in 2020: why do the police hassle black men so much?
But nobody else ever mentions that blacks, at 13.4% of the population, make up now well over 50% of murder offenders. (In contrast, blacks wind up between 1/4th and 1/3rd of police killings.) So I guess the answer must be invisible Systemic Racism or something.
If you don’t believe my calculations, here’s a screenshot:
While blacks made up 52.5% of known murder offenders from 1980-2008, their percentage continues to inch upwards, reaching 55.9% in 2019:
| 2019 Murder Offenders | Total | Known | Black or African American | NonBlack | Unknown |
| Total | 16,245 | 11,493 | 6,425 | 5,068 | 4,752 |

| Black / Nonblack Ratio | 8.2 |
