I think you need to read a little bit about what a fallacy is. Here, this will help:

You'll want to look closely at the section entitled "PROOF BY SELECTED INSTANCES".

I notice that the fact that you have found a group of killers without one black involved shocks you. Why does it shock you?

I don't think anything shocks zeeblebot. Your interpretation of his post is amusing.

You can play jacks, and girls do that with a soft ball and do tricks with it.

Dutch Schultz's last words.

I should say some of his last words--his rambling deathbed monologue became a literary cause célèbre:

Here are all the words themselves...

You do well to question this statement (albeit by proxy).
But the real point is that the consensus to refer to the African inhabitants of the USA and the UK as 'black' rather than 'negro' disguises the fact that many much more intelligent races (eg. the Southern Indians, Madrasses) are often 'blacker' than are the negroes of African origin.
So why 'beat about the bush'? Just distiguish African negoes from 'blacks'.

I appreciate you clarifying the point. But I don't think the fact that people of all races commit crime is much of a shock to anyone. And I don't know that anyone but the hopelessly ignorant would make the case that any race is genetically inferior.
