Guns make Black people less safe.

- Black people represent the most gun deaths per capita nationwide, at 31.8 deaths per 100,000 people.

- Firearm homicide among Black people increased 39.5% between 2019 and 2020.

- In 2020, Black people were 12 times more likely to be killed by a gun than white peers.

- Black children and teens are 14 times more likely than white children and teens of the same age to die by gun homicide. Black Americans compose only 14% of the U.S. population, yet account for over 50% of all homicide victims, and nearly 90% of Black homicide victims are killed with guns. Due to inequities rooted in systemic racism, Black people are more likely to live in communities with guns, and may choose to own guns due to ineffectual and/or hostile policing. However, the data is clear that the presence of a gun is linked to a higher risk for suicide and gun violence in the home and that guns do not add a protective benefit outside the home.

-A study of 2019 homicide data found that an average of 20 Black Americans were killed each day. Of these, 17 died from gun homicides.

- In 2019, the Black homicide victimization rate in the U.S. was nearly four times the overall victimization rate, and nearly seven times the white homicide rate.

- Black children ages 5 through 12 are nearly twice as likely to die by suicide as white children of the same age. And suicides among Black adolescents are on the rise, with the highest upward trend among girls and 15 to 17-year-olds. With 90% of gun suicides being fatal, access to guns puts Black children and teens at risk.

- 56% of Black youth lived within 1300 meters of a gun homicide in the past year, and 1 in 4 Black youth experienced 3 or more incidents of gun violence. Youth exposure to gun violence is linked to post traumatic stress symptoms, lower levels of attention and impulse control, and worsened standardized test performance.
 
Democrats - "Hey, lets stop enforcing crime and defund the police, what could possibly go wrong?"
 
Or is it because what was done to us was never done to them. Are you telling me that slavery, Jim Crow, racism and discrimination hasn't had an impact on black folks.
It’s all been done to whites over the centuries. A hundred fifty years ago signs saying no dogs or Irish allowed were common. In the eighteen eighties it was no dogs or Chinese. Same things with the Poles of Hungarians. Same with Mexicans.

No Irish, Poles, Chinese or Hungarians came to this country under the conditions that we did. None of them were treated or are treated in the manner that black folks are.
 
Which definition of "mass shootings" do you prefer? The FBI's definition doesn't even include a number of victims or deaths. If you call every gang banger incident a "mass shooting" you end up with wild statistics and if you include a drunken gunfire episode you get some crazy numbers.

You know how those ethnic groups gotten ahead of blacks, especially the Chinese? Before you cry racism, it's not racism.
 
This is now. Fix today. 250 years ago is BS. Vietnam was almost destroyed in Civil war. Some came here, went right to work. No welfare, no whining. They succeeded. //
 
Give us the numbers for white on white crime.

Because they never faced the racism and discrimination that black folks have.
That was in the past. It does not explain low IQ averages for blacks and high rates of crime and illegitimacy now.

Blacks are better off in the United States than in any black majority, black run in the world. No where in the world is there a black majority, black run country with a low crime rate, a prosperous economy, and a well functioning government. Whites are not pushing blacks down. We are lifting them up.

Black folks today face the same poverty, racism and discrimination that black folks faced in 1923.

Name one place that is majority black that the white man hasn't stolen, corrupted and destroyed.
