No, that statistic is entirely false and reverses the actual data. Federal Bureau of Justice Statistics and FBI data consistently show that the vast majority of homicides in the United States are intraracial, meaning people typically kill those of the same race. [1, 2]
According to FBI and Department of Justice crime reports:
โข80% to 85% of white murder victims are killed by white offenders.
โขAbout 80% to 90% of Black murder victims are killed by Black offenders. [1]
The claim that Black people kill 81% of white people originated from a viral, misleading social media meme that swapped the FBI numbers for white and Black victims. Fact-checkers at organizations like Reuters and USA Today have reviewed this data and repeatedly debunked it as entirely false
