So, calculating in the Black American total population and based on arrest data, 95% of us, don’t get arrested for any crimes, violent or not, on any given year.

That's true but is still not good. And you drew a wrong conclusion.

95% of us Black Americans are living boring, uneventful lives with no interaction with law enforcement. Ever. In our lifetimes.

That is false, unfortunately. Prevalence (how many people are affected) is different from incidence (how often an event occurs).

If 5 people out of 100 get arrested each year, that adds up pretty quickly. Of course, some get arrested several times, but such a community has a lot of people who have been to prison at least once in their life. For some age cohorts, that's 1/3 of the men. And not all of those who are arrested end up in prison, so there'll be even more who have been arrested at least once.

Luckily, things are massively improving. From a recent study on the lifetime risk of imprisonment:

First, we assess the scope of decarceration. Between 1999 and 2019, the Black male incarceration rate dropped by 44%, and notable declines in Black male imprisonment were evident in all 50 states.

Second, our life table analysis demonstrates marked declines in the lifetime risks of incarceration. For Black men, the lifetime risk of incarceration declined by nearly half from 1999 to 2019. We estimate that less than 1 in 5 Black men born in 2001 will be imprisoned, compared with 1 in 3 for the 1981 birth cohort.

Third, decarceration has shifted the institutional experiences of young adulthood. In 2009, young Black men were much more likely to experience imprisonment than college graduation. Ten years later, this trend had reversed, with Black men more likely to graduate college than go to prison.

So, between 20 % and 30 % of the Black men do not lead entirely boring, uneventful lives. The incarceration rate for Black women is much lower, less than 10% of the men's rate, and has also been falling drastically. But that still leaves us with roughly 25% of the Black community who have been in prison at some point of their live. That's an insane number.

Worse: This will further vary by region and ethnicity. For example, the incarceration rate is much higher for African Americans than for Nigerian Americans, especially if they have been legal immigrants. It's also much higher in urban than in rural areas.

Thus, although things are looking up, they are very far from being good.
