Suppose you put 1 black guy and 8 white guys in a room. This is the approximate proportion of the population as a whole. If the black guy commits a random crime, there is a 100% chance of it being against a white guy. When a white guy commits a crime, there will be a 1-8 chance that it will be against the black guy. This does not mean that the black is targeting whites.

"This does not mean that the black is targeting whites." Statistically-speaking, on a per-capita basis, there is significantly more Black-on-White crime than White-on-Black crime...call it "targeting" or not, them's the facts.

This does not mean that the black is targeting whites. Nor does it mean that the whites are targeting blacks, but that sort of logic produced hate crime legislation.
