The elephant in this world wide media room is, "how many of these 18 blacks were killed by other blacks?"
If that question cannot be dealt with honestly, within the real context of the cultural problem that exists within the black community, then complaining about the 'number' of blacks killed is pointless and all the other suppositions, bias and conjecture is meaningless.
Statistical breakdown on the 18, by race of killer, and circumstances, would be very useful. Any info for this?

Blacks
Whites
