467:, black people committed 30,2% of all larceny and theft, even though they make up just 13% of the population. Your opinion that these statistics are biased is unfounded, similar rates of black over-representation in (violent) crime exists in other Western countries, such as Canada, Australia, and Western European countries, which is also confirmed by said countries' crime statistics. One very telling and bias-free piece of evidence of black people's inherently more criminal tendencies compared to whites is the fact that it's not uncommon for items popular among and specific to the black demographic to be under lock and key in supermarkets (Afro hair wig, Afro hair products, etc) while those for whites (sunscreen etc) are not. Why bias-free? Because the decision to put specific items under lock and key is almost exclusively made on the basis of algorithms and statistical analysis; if certain items are stolen a lot more than average they will be put under lock and key, especially the higher the value of those items. The fact that those items are only popular with and used by the black demographic is rather telling.

another way, I would be extremely surprised if the FBI crime statistics you are referring to can identify crimes that were committed but not caught by the authorities.
