…and black people, then as now, made up about 12% of the population (8.8 million out of 76.1 million total). If your argument holds water, the crime rate should have been roughly comparable; after all, black people are genetically predisposed to murder and pillage, you say.

Strangely, it wasn’t. How do you explain that?

The criminal justice system was harsher then. Also, the family structure was stronger.
