Unless one assumes that 100% of all 330 million Americans are violent criminals—which you might if you're a North Korean dictator, or an English monarch—the only thing this table shows is that a stupendously overwhelming majority of Americans of all races, are law abiding folks. https://twitter.com/Bossy_Leah/status/1382055389911482371
Likewise.

And that's because the people who use the screencap of that chart like some kind of great statistical gotcha about crime and race, are very careful not to show table No. 5. from the same effing report. https://twitter.com/HobbesGrrrl/status/1382097647197061120?s=19
Here, is a screencap of table No. 5.

It's important because it shows us the actual number of crimes/offenders.

Which, when compared to the actual population sizes, shows that there is no for anyone to automatically assume violence perpetrated by any race.
We are talking about 3.8 million violent crimes, in a population of 330 million people.

Even if you assume just members of just one race committed all 3.8 million violent crimes, that is still statistically too insignificant to presume violence from all members of that race.
I encourage you, next time someone shows you table 8, to please ask them about table 5.

Please feel free to take the screen cap of table 5 from this thread.

Please ask them about whole numbers and probabilities.
