According to the data in your link, 12.9 % of murders of white people were committed by black people. Black people constitute 12.6% of the population. I don't see how this particular data makes it reasonable to advise white children not to help apparently distressed black people, or to believe that 50% of black people will go along with white people being harmed on purely racial grounds, or to believe that black candidates to political office should be scrutinized with more care.
The male-female differential in commission of violent crimes is greater than the black-white differential. Do you really believe that Derbyshire thinks male candidates to political office should be held up to greater scrutiny than female candidates, or that he advises his children not to attend events where there will be a large number of men?
Well, whites interact more with follow whites then with blacks.
Let's put it this way. Assuming you live in the US, walk through the nearest black neighborhood at night, every night for about a week. If you aren't willing to do this, why not?
