ps: Where are latinos, I assume they are in "white" column? Well that "pollutes" white numbers, meaning that actual crime rate would be way more than 5 times.
ps: OP states 70%, not 75%, not that it matter here, just saying.

I'm not sure where Latinos fall. They sure aren't on the list so they must be getting included in one of the other groups.
Still, the OP said, "Blacks comprise 13% of the population but commit 70% of all violent crimes. (per FBI stat.) "
That simply is not the case based on these numbers. In some cases they might commit a much higher percentage of the crimes per person than whites, but they are not committing 75 % of the violent crimes.
