First, checking the stats:
FBI’s “Top 10 Most Wanted” – 6 White; 4 Hispanic/Latino
FBI’s “Top 10 Most Wanted Terrorists” – 9 Arab/Islamic; 1 Black
FBI’s “Top 10 Most Wanted for Crimes Against Children” – 1 Black; 5 White: 4 Hispanic/Latino
FBI’s “Top 10 Most Wanted for Violent Crimes/Murder” – 2 Black; 6 Hispanic/Latino; 1 Arab; 1 White
FBI’s “Top 10 Most Wanted for Parental Kidnappings” – 2 Arab; 1 Hispanic/Latino; 7 White
FBI’s “Top 10 Most Wanted for ‘white collar’ crimes” – 8 White; 1 Hispanic/Latino; 1 Asian
FBI’s “Top Most Wanted for (a) Detonating Explosives in a public area; (b) Homicide/Serial Rape; (c) Hate Crime; (d) Attempted Child Abduction; (e) Bus Bombing; (f) Abduction; (g) Couple of Unsolved Murders and Bombings, highly unlikely a Black person is behind it” – Every single one of them white, but not all from the United States.
Note: Out of 70 on the FBI’s Top 10, only four are ‘recognizably’ Black or African/American. On the average, less than 6 (six-) percent of these Most Wanted and Most Violent are Black or African-American.
White America needs to take a long hard look at itself.
For a sub-sector of folk who continually gun down unarmed Black people who have committed no crime, or very seldom commit crimes worthy of the death penalty that too often comes without a TRIAL BY JURY, it is relatively safe to say that more than half of the Black Americans accused of crimes or convicted of crimes are either completely innocent, or got a sentence that was nowhere close to fitting the actual crime.
This kind of violence in the Black community is Black folks “acting white.” We (our people) learned it from the most insidiously violent race on the planet. We were never stuck on stupid like this until some time after integration. A Black person would break out from time to time and do something ishty, but it wasn’t a daily CONSTANT until segregation ended:

On the OTHER hand, are Black people the most victimized race in the nation? Check out the FBI Data for 2012:
