So we are good?
Full disclosure, the website I just posted for the murder stat actually says that blacks commit 37% of violent crime, where violent crime is defined as murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault. I have seen stats where it is as high as 50%, but I am guessing they are defining "violent crime" differently. According to that webpage, blacks commit the majority of murders and robberies in the US, but a smaller % of total rape and aggravated assault.
