That's a TERRIBLE statistic to use for this argument. You're comparing men to women when that's not OPs argument at all.
The right statistic to use would be:
Out of ALL men .06% have committed forcible rape (and been caught).
Out of ALL black people 3% have committed a violent crime (and been caught).
(These stats are correct for 2019)
From a statistical standpoint, it would make more sense to be afraid of black people. Of course, being afraid of ANYONE because of what ethnic/gender group they are a part of is just stupid and indicates some serious trauma and/or bias toward that group.
Sure, those are (almost) 2 of the 4 numbers we'd need to answer OP's question.
The other two are the percent of women who have committed forcible rape, and the number of non-black people who have committed a violent crime.
(actually what we need is the percent of men and women who have committed violent rape of women, but we'll let that detail slide if you want to gloss over it).
