>It looks like whites are 3x more likely to be rapists than blacks.
It looks like you have no idea how to interpret statistics. Blacks are 13% of population and 16.7% of rapists. Whites are 62% of population and 50.6% of rapists. This means blacks are over-represented among rapists and whites are underrepresented.

>Do they? Or is a black man more likely to be convicted by a jury made up of whites?
Sorry. White juries are not biased.
> Mitchell et al. (2005) analyzed data from 34 studies in which people acted as jurors and voted on whether a given defendant was guilty. It was found that whites exhibit nearly no racial bias in such decisions while black people exhibit an in-group bias that is 15 times larger than the minuscule bias seen among whites.
