FBI: Blacks made up 60.4% of known murder offenders in 2021
The FBI finally got around to reporting its Uniform Crime Reporting statistics for 2021. For complicated bureaucratic methodological reasons there was a huge decline in cooperation by local police departments, from the mid 80 percents in 2020 to agencies covering 64 percent of the population in...

This makes comparing year to year changes dubious.
But still … the black percentage of known murder offenders surged from a record 56.5% in 2020 to an insane 60.4% in 2021.
This change may be due to a selection effect. For example, perhaps it happened to be that law enforcement agencies that stopped reporting happened to more be in areas with few blacks and ornery nonblacks, such as Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Alaska rather than in places with high black to white ratios of homicides, such as Illinois or Wisconsin. Somebody could go through all the data and try to figure out if this happened. But I don’t see much reason to assume that the smaller sample of reporting agencies was skewed in this direction in 2021 relative to 2020. As far as I can tell, the lower cooperation was due to fairly random bureaucratic reasons.
Or it could really be due to the “racial reckoning” that the Establishment media declared after George Floyd’s death on May 25, 2020.
Keep in mind that murder investigation closure rates are lower in black communities due to “snitches get stitches, so 60.4% might still be a modest understatement.
As always with FBI stats, unlike CDC stats, the white category includes a whole lot of Hispanics.
Overall, America in the Current Year has a gigantic black gun murder problem.
Since 1980, the year with the lowest fraction of known murder offenders who were black was 1984, the peak year of the Reagan Era, the year of The Cosby Show, Beverly Hills Cop, and Purple Rain.
Contra Orwell, 1984 was a good year.
The FBI’s data on type of weapons used is messy (it collates reports from countless local law enforcement agencies, who tend to have their own traditional forms). But from what we can see reported, handguns were used in at least 5,363 killings, knives in 1,018, rifles in 410, automatic handguns in 205, shotguns in 152, and, scariest of all, automatic rifles in 37.
