True.
I am waiting for the Black Lives Matter organisation to condemn the murder of white farmers in South Africa by black gangsters covertly supported by the government there. It looks like it will be a LONG wait.
True. I wouldn't dream of saying to George Floyd's family that everybody dies because that would be cruel and insensitive, even though it is true. But, when people die, we don't normally go on massive protests, so the particulars don't relate to the entirety.

I am not sure that is statistically relevant, unless there are also figures to show that the proportion of blacks matches whites in a series of other parameters, e.g. convictions for violent offencers, prison population and so on. I suspect that's not the case.
