We Just Got Terrifying New Mass Shooting Numbers, Here's How Black Americans Fit In

[2aguy]

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.

And yet the democrat party created the Civil War, jim crow, and fought every single Civil Rights act till the last ones...also fought against anti-lynching laws....

And you support them

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.

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.

That is a funny post...

More whites own guns in the U.S. than blacks but they commit less gun murder than blacks...

So guns arent the issue....

Black families? Over 70% of black children are born to unwed mothers....that is the problem you thick english clod

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.

Mother Jones has the accurate count...

12 mass public shootings in 2023, the same as 2022....

12 people out of over 350 million Americans.

By "black teens" they mean gang members shooting each other over drug turf...that little factoid is always left out of statistics like that

Only a foolish racist would fix his mouth to say that stupid shit.

and yet here you are using things white men built.

 

[Hector12]

2013? It's 2024.

Do you think things have changed that much?

 

[Hector12]

Why is it that black folks are the only ones you feed that bullshit to? You don't yell Asians, hispanics, Jewish folks or no one else to not teach their history in America. Nobody else turns the other cheek, but us. Why is that?

An honest history of Negroes would point out that whites did not enslave them. They were enslaved by other African Negroes and sold to white slave traders. While this was going on slavery was widespread in sub Saharan Africa. In sub Saharan Africa Negro slaves were often the victims of cannibalism or human sacrifice.

I am not condoning the slave trade. Whites in the Americas would be far better off if it had never existed, and if free blacks had not been allowed to move here either.

and yet here you are using things white men built.

Just like you are using things black men built.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

Yea we can eat in the same restaurant that you do, we don't have to sit in the balcony at the movies anymore, we don't have to sit at the back of the bus unless we want to. Yea somethings have changed.

Well when you write the history books, you tell the story. So is it history or his-story.

I am pretty sure the Native American is thinking the same thing about you.

Yep and who is it that defends those Democrats today? Right wing, conservative Republicans. Which party is it that fights against police reform, anti-lynching bills, voting rights bills? Right wing, conservative Republicans.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

That's all you can do is laugh, since you can't give me an answer. Smfh.

Whites arent the ones who are blaming other races for their issues.

White people are the only people in America that don't blame their personal issues on other races. Meanwhile at least some percent of other races blame their problems on other races.

Although the reality of it, white people should be blaming other races for our societies problems because they are the cause of a lot of them.

Of course. Nevertheless, when it comes to Negroes in the United States we did that to our self. Southern whites should have grown their own cotton and tobacco.

It is not better for us. We have to endure your crimes, your welfare expense, and we have to work with incompetent affirmative action beneficiaries.

Jews complain about the Holocaust, and have every right to. They do not blame others for their failures and their poverty because they rarely fail and seldom live in poverty.

Yep, the native American is probably thinking they should have wiped out everybody that got off the ship.

Like what?
