The next line which represents convictions and the light blue sliver representing blacks is again almost three times the size of the first line. The next line represents arrests, and you can see the light blue sliver is much bigger here, almost three times as big. The top graph is a representation of the total population, and blacks are represented by the small light blue sliver. The UK Government doesn’t provide a table of data the way the FBI does, they only present a graph, however by looking at it you can see the crime statistics are almost an exact match for the US statistics. ( The ethnic population of England and Wales broken down by local authority / archive) Looking at the ethnic breakdown of the United Kingdom (England) we can see that blacks makeup 2.8% of the population. Fortunately, there is an easy way to prove this isn’t true by looking at the population and crime records of another developed first world county that doesn’t have any of the biases the US system is accused of. The myth of white privilege says that the police and the court system in the United States is guilty of systemic racism and bias and unfairly arrests and prosecutes blacks. Is the US Criminal Justice System Guilty of Systemic Racism against Blacks? If blacks make up 13% of the population they should only be committing 13% of the crimes, instead, they are committing crimes almost three times as many crimes as they should be. If we take a look at the number of violent crimes committed by blacks we can see they committed 153,341 of the 408,873 violent crimes, which is 37% of the violent crimes. ( FBI Table 21 Arrests by Race and Ethnicity, 2016 / archive) 2016 FBI Violent Crime Statistics So 61% of the population is committing 58% of the violent crimes, so the math lines up. If we look at the FBI statistics for violent crimes we can see that whites committed 241,063 of the 408,873 violent crimes, which is 58% of the total. Is a black person more likely to be a criminal than a white person? According to 2016 stats from the US Census Bureau non-Hispanic whites makeup 61.3% of the population, and blacks make up 13.1% of the population. Do Blacks Commit More Violent Crimes Than Whites? However white privilege isn’t real, and we’re going to prove that institutional racism isn’t the cause, but the breakdown in the family unit and uneducated people who make bad life choices are the real causes of the problem. The myth of white privilege says blacks are arrested and incarcerated at a higher rate due to systemic racism that exists in the law enforcement and court systems.
