You don't know for certain that African Americans commit more violent crimes. We only know that they're prosecuted for them at a higher rate per capita. The rest is a known unknown.
As for your hypothesis that beliefs don't lead to action I find that dubious. Do you believe that certain ethnic groups have a genetic predisposition to violence? I doubt that you do. Are you arguing that religion doesn't correlate with beliefs?
Are you arguing that religion is just one of many factors?
Are you arguing that religion has no influence on behavior?
I'm arguing that religion reflects belief and beliefs lead to action. I'm pointing that out to make it clear to you what you seem to want to dismantle as it seems you're running out of legs to stand on.
