Stacey said we should focus on the crime rate of racists. Given that,
for example in the year 1999, the Blacks-killing-Whites per capita
interracial murder rate was 16.1 times higher than that for
Whites-killing-Blacks, this doesn't seem to support her views much.


Perhaps she thinks we should ignore anti-white racism, though. This is
certainly what the mainstream media likes to do.


Incidentally, in that year the total Black per capita murder rate was
6.8 times higher than the White per capita murder rate.


IOW, Blacks kill far more per capita, and in the context of interracial

murder, this disparity rises even further.

These are official FBI statistics, Stacey. You're a professional
statistician. Do you have any argument to refute them? No, I guess you
don't.



Since there is no race, you can't compare.  These are just people
killing people.  It's a sad state of affairs.

There is race. However, using racial differences as justification for oppression, suppression and hate is wrong.
Artificially doing away with race as a concept will not get rid of oppression, suppression and hate.

Think critically, not politically, about the concept of race.
