I'm afraid that presenting this stat in isolation is misleading.
If a black person in the U.S. is 12 times more likely to be murdered than other people in developed countries, isn't that really because their neighbors, other black people, are roughly twelve times more likely to COMMIT a murder?
Rare anomalies like the currently featured racist nut aside, almost all black people who are murdered are victims of other black people.
Honesty requires full information, not cherry-picked 'half stories'.
