Using FBI statistics for 2010...
6,470 blacks were murdered, as were 6,043 whites. 94% of blacks were killed by blacks, and 85% of whites were killed by whites.
94% of 6,470 is 6,082. That is 16.66 per day, or 783 in the last 47 days. And 50 blacks killed by non-blacks in 47 days.
We shouldn’t overstate the case...

Those numbers are very informative. When you consider that there are roughly 5 times more white people than black people in America, the differential is even more staggering.
If whites were murdering blacks at the same rate that blacks are murdering blacks, you’d expect 5 times as many blacks to be murdered by whites, as compared to murdered by blacks. On a per capita basis, the average black person is about 90 times more likely to murder another black person, than the average white person is.
Of course, part of this is due to the fact that people tend to murder people they have close relationships with or live close to. But at the same time, the blacks commit a higher percentage of murders of white people than their percentage of the population.
In all this, we should keep in mind that the vast majority of black people (and white people) never murder anybody. There is a larger minority of murderers among blacks, than among whites, but it is still a small minority.
Law abiding black people should not be held accountable for murders committed by other people who share their skin color any more than law abiding white people should.
