    I’ve generally heard the 13/53 numbers as referencing violent crime but who knows if that’s what it actually is because I’ve only ever heard people us it when being super racist.

      It’s referencing violent crime arrests. If a white guy does a murder and two black guys are arrested and acquitted of it, that’s still two ticks on the black pile.
