Peculiar Indifference: The Neglected Toll of Violence on Black America
by Elliott Currie

“White domination rests at the center of this maelstrom of enduring and endemic violence. And yet, whether most white Americans admit it or not, they consider Black people both the deserving victims and the dangerous vectors of violence, who bear the burden and the blame for much of the nation’s exceptional record of death and destruction.


This is not a Black crisis but a national emergency, according to Currie. In a society where “intentional violence” of all kinds exists more than in “any other advanced nation,” he writes, “African-Americans suffer it all out of proportion to their share of the population.”

It's poverty yo, mixed with systemic racism and a gun happy culture.
You get what you deserve

The problem with the woke left is they won't accept the reality this is actually the truth. They really think (or at least they act as if they really think) police misconduct is the problem. And they are completely unwilling to accept the reality all their efforts at "reform" are horribly backfiring because they have done such a poor job of acknowledging the problem.

the left doesn't care about black people, the left doesn't care about white people, they want a race war so they can keep us from them, the poor from the rich, I just wish everyone could see thru this bullshit, and get back to the occupy days of fighting the rich.

now it seems the left has trained their idiots to be shills for big tech, big pharma and big media, disgusting

Sad!
