I'm claiming that that's what I get extrapolating the racial breakdown from FBI one on one murders to the national homicide rate for 2020.

Earlier you made this claim:

If that extrapolates to all homicides, the rate for other races is still somewhere around 3.9 per 100,000

Here you said "other races". Is that the rate for whites or other races? Please clarify why these numbers are identical.

It's all other races.

Please clarify why these numbers are identical.

I was communicating with someone who said: "It's the niggers, not the guns."

So I was focusing on the non-blacks. I did understand that the data wasn't exactly for whites, but I figured someone who uses an offensive slur to describe a racial group is going to be difficult enough to discuss statistics with without getting into nuances.

I figure it's identical enough, given the audience. It includes Asians who have a lower murder rate, and includes natives who have a higher murder rate. It would approximately come out in the wash. The data separates people of latin american heritage, but they would generally be white.

I couldn't find anything that showed the white homicide rate either. Thanks for trying. Although if you look into "low nigger population zones" like I originally mentioned, I'm sure you will find plenty that are safe and have much fewer gun violence, if that's what you are worried about.
