Again, culturally speaking, you have to ask yourself as to the reason why blacks are arrested more often than any other demographic. I mean, culturally, Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Indians, native American Indians and Mexicans seem to have a lower rate of arrest compared to blacks. Ask yourself why. As for the term "white guilt", I don't think anyone suffers from it at all apart from sjws. To not put a too finer point on it, you ask a black American to make a choice between racist police and the United States or Africa, he will choose the USA each time because he doesn't identify himself as African i.e. poor, living in tribes, eating very little, traditional medicine, language and religions. In the land of the free, there is everything they ever want. Perhaps if they gave something back to American society, then people might look differently.

That's easy. They tend to live in economically deprived neighbourhoods. You live in a neighbourhood that is deprived of school funding, community services, and probably policed by people who are not from the neighbourhood and don't give a shit about the people living there, naturally people are going to turn to crime to make ends meet.
I don't think it's necessarily wrong to point out that crime rates may be higher among black Americans, what's wrong is that people end the analysis there, and act like it's just an inherent biological thing. You don't question the neglect for these neighbourhoods by local councils and governments, the cuts to school funding, the lack of promotion of and support for black entrepreneurship (which would benefit absolutely everyone). People just want to act like this "crime" happens in a vacuum and isn't caused by anything. They also want to act like no black people are trying to fight against the crime and make changes, when that's not the truth either. The biggest campaigners against black gang violence are black people, typically despairing parents who have lost sons to it.
I also think it's fucked up bringing Africa into the equation, when a massive part of the reason Africa is so fucked today is because it was raped of resources and force-fed organised religion, and had national borders placed haphazardously at the expense of indigenous heritage.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
