This is fantasy. The idea that 83% of black males are fine upstanding citizens is absurd.

I think he's talking about the percentage of violent crime committed by blacks, not the percentage of blacks that commit violent crimes. Those are two very different numbers.

For example, 80-90% of ALS patients are white men. That doesn't mean that 80-90% of white men will get ALS.

Don't get me wrong, there are a LOT of problems in the community. I sometimes post the "crabs in a barrel" gif in response to these stories. But, it's reasonable to assume that the violent criminals are only some members of the 6% and not a majority.
