USA Today - Young Black Men "teens" make up more than a third of 2019 gun homicides
Young Black men and teens made up more than a third of firearm homicide victims in the USA in 2019, one of several disparities revealed in a review of gun mortality data released Tuesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The analysis, titled "A Public Health Crisis in the Making," found that although Black men and boys ages 15 to 34 make up just 2% of the nation's population, they were among 37% of gun homicides that year. That's 20 times higher than white males of the same age group. Of all reported firearm homicides in 2019, more than half of victims were Black men, according to the study spearheaded by the Educational Fund to Stop Gun Violence and the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence. Sixty-three percent of male victims were Black. The contrast is even more stark when the rates were compared with white people: Across all ages, Black men were nearly 14 times more likely to die in a firearm homicide than white men, and eight times more likely to die in a firearm homicide than the general population, including women. "That should include really viewing gun violence as a public health issue. The business of public health is population wellness – looking at how we can decrease the disease burden or the threat of injury to the population at large," he said. "And gun violence is definitely a problem that should be looked at through that lens." So Democrats want to take way the guns of 50 year old white males ...

People think statistics don't be like they be, but they do.
Or something like that... You'd think the left should say, "it's a problem that an entire segment of society is being killed off," but it's almost like they're encouraging it. |

It has always been that way: racism is bad, but we have to sustain our high-density economic zones, so we need to oppress everyone equally on paper.

Highest increase on record, 30%, going up after the BLM riots began. Prior to that homicide rates were low during the pandemic. |

Huh, that’s a very creative way to try and reframe that statistic. Irony. What would be more useful than who was killed, was who killed them. I don’t know why that isn’t in the article.

Of course.
Look at how many concessions we make towards dealing with the homeless, gays, trans, seriously mentally ill etc. Restricting the majority to allow the conduct of the minority is the New American Way. |

I don’t know why that isn’t in the article. Because when you add in black on white murders, it pushes the total well past 50%, all from that same 2% of the population. |

Saw this this morning. Shhhhhhhocking. Doesn’t bring up who’s causing it. Also SHOCKING.
This is the quote that you need to pay attention to. This is the reason we don’t want the CDC looking at guns at all. Fucking gobbledie gook nothingness that is all about banning in the end: "That should include really viewing gun violence as a public health issue. The business of public health is population wellness – looking at how we can decrease the disease burden or the threat of injury to the population at large," he said. "And gun violence is definitely a problem that should be looked at through that lens." |

The Black urban youth culture of today glorifies drugs, violence, pre-teen sex, and everything that leads to failure in the broader American culture. But that's not enough they also attack things like intelligence, education, public service, and trustworthiness as being things their culture doesn't value at all.
And they sit in their filth and wonder why they're not successful like they see people in every other culture in America. Yet the democrats demand we embrace that failed culture as being equal to any. Nope. |

Thought these were figures you couldn't point out or facts you can't mention type stuff. I always thought it was 61/2 percent does 50 percent. I told a reporter once if you get Black Men to stop killing one another there wouldn't be a gun crime issue. He didn't have a clue
