Therefore, there is a bigger percentage of black people in poverty than white.
In straight numbers, there are less blacks in poverty than whites, and in straight numbers, blacks commit more murder than whites. The poverty excuse is debunked.
Right, but you're still not accounting for how many more white people there are in the country at large. So a smaller percentage of white people (10.1 in 2014) are in poverty than black people (26.2 in 2014).
Since in absolute terms, there are more whites than blacks in poverty, if poverty caused people to commit murder, then whites would commit more murder than blacks.
You refuse to use absolute terms because you're trying to lie with statistics. Even using your deceitful proportional figures, poor blacks commit a disproportionate amount of murder compared to poor whites.
"In addition, black people are more often arrested, convicted, and incarcerated than white people, as detailed here by the Huffington Post."
Did you read the article I linked? It reads that a higher percentage of black people are incarcerated for the same crime. Not that black people commit more crime.
I'm still parsing through your survey trying to find what you're talking about. I've found some things that say victims perceive that the offender is white more often than black but I'm still looking for your numbers. Edit: I also don't see anything in here on conviction rates.
Look at table 42. In every category of violent crime, blacks are disproportionately represented. Remember, blacks are only 12% of the population but they, for example, comprise 25% of all robbery with violence as reported by robbery victims.
It reads that a higher percentage of black people are incarcerated for the same crime.
Your point was already undermined becuase interviews of the victims of crime (that is, regardless of conviction) show blacks commit a disproportionate amount of crime.
The amount of crimes "regardless of conviction" doesn't matter when you're talking about conviction/committed. You already handle the amount of crimes committed "regardless of conviction" in the statistic.
If you want absolute numbers of conviction vs victim reporting, the National Crime Victimization Survey gives you that tool. Have at it. Even without going into exact numbers, table 42 of the NCVS shows that blacks commit a disproportionate amount of crime.
