13/52 and 13/90 are racist numeric codes used by white supremacists to
portray African-Americans as savage and criminal. White supremacists claim
that Blacks make up only 13% of the U.S. population but commit 52% of all
murders and 90% of all violent interracial crime.
Excerpts from the full write-up:
...a shorthand reference to racist propaganda claims by white supremacists against African Americans to depict them as savage and criminal in nature.
...the number 13 refers to the purported percentage of the U.S. population that is African American. The number 52 refers to the alleged percentage of all murders committed in the U.S. that are committed by African Americans...
...In any case, it should be noted that the vast majority of violent crime is intraracial (committed by a person of one race against a person of the same race), not interracial, in nature.
Alright, so according to the ADL, we shouldn't care about interracial crimes...oh, only when it's against white people. Otherwise it's their whole fucking existence. Evil fuckers.
...In some instances, white supremacists use the numbers as a purported police radio code, using language like, “We have a 1390 in progress.”
Hahahaha. White supremacists are funny people, I guess.
I'd argue they do actually mean it as they said it in this case. Per capita? Sure. But in general it is just crime overall; whites are much more likely to victimize other whites, blacks with blacks, etc. That is an overall crime trend, so in this case I don't view the ADL as trying to pull a fast one with that phrasing.
My favorite part though, is that the ADL of all organizations is essentially demanding people ignore interracial crime (in this particular and very specific instance, of course!) because it's a relatively small proportion of overall crime. You know what else is tiny proportion of overall crime? Antisemitic attacks. White on black attacks. Guess we gotta ignore those too, right, ADL?
They actually do explain it, surprising. Well, sort of describe it. Badly.
Here's the document, and here it is in PDF.

They mean black on black crime, but its racist to say that.
they are arguing blacks aren't violent by pointing out how violent blacks are toward other blacks.
