Ok, great, but when we normalize by population it's about 2. Blacks commit violent crime at roughly 2X the rate that whites do.

59,778 violent crimes perpetrated on blacks by whites

547,948 violent crimes perpetrated on whites by blacks

There are 197 million whites

There are 38 million blacks

Assuming these data are accurate - a black is 45 times more likely to commit a violent crime against a white than a white is to commit a violent crime against a black.
