Original Note:
This post makes a false assertion that African Americans, who make up 13% of the U.S. population, commit 90% of crime. According to FBI crime statistics, the real number is 27%. The poster may be confused with violent crime, which is still wrong, but closer, at 53%. https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2016/crime-in-the-u.s.-2016/tables/table-21
