In 2015, Donald Trump shared an image suggesting that 4 in 5 White murder victims were killed by Black offenders, which is also false. At the time, the most recent available data showed that the vast majority of White murder victims were killed by White people, just as most Black murder victims are killed by Black people. Victims tend to be killed by people they know, and most people know mostly people who share their racial identity.
Setting aside the specific numbers offered by eyeslasho for a moment, there's a very good reason the number of people killed might have more than doubled since 1950 — the U.S. population also more than doubled over that period…
