It's more like one fifth of the white population, but that still makes the stat misleading. If a black person kills people at random, he's going to kill 5 times more whites than blacks. If a white person kills people at random, he's also going to kill 5 times more whites than blacks. So if both whites and blacks killed people of both colours at the same rate, the black person would still kill 5 times more whites than the white person kills blacks. Assuming the headline is correct, blacks kill 2.4 times more whites than they should, which sounds kind of low considering how enthusiastic blacks are about crime. The way I interpret this stat is blacks kill a lot, but they probably kill other blacks a lot more often than they kill whites, at least when adjusting for population proportions.

was that accounting for population? because 3 to 1 while being 1/4th as many blacks as whites would be 12 to 1.

When you can make a true statement like "Blacks Murder Whites at 12x the Rate that Whites Murder Blacks", you need to start calling them NIGGERS openly!
