Rural Black youth firearm homicides are fastest growing and have quadrupled since 2013

[African Peasant]

nikkas think white people are out in the sticks making the murder rate quadruple for black youths? We love ignoring shyt until it’s too late. The Coli thought OD deaths were a “white thing”, now black boys have surpassed whites. There are black boys in rural areas doing their best King Von impersonation and murdering their friends and sh*t.

Some of us have too much pride and refuse to see negative things affecting us

Having an issue with blaming drill music and the such for the rise in violence isn't the same as saying drill music isn't associated with these crimes. I am 100% sure drill music is a factor in this.

The issue is explaining how and why the rise or fall in crime happens and by using music as the key cause. The gangster rap of the 90s did not cause a spike in rural violence since things were even keel until 2013. Also, and people forget this, violent crime in Black America had peaked when NWA and gangsta rap started. From 1992-1994 it topped and then began a steep decline.

If you graph record sales of gangsta rap and the change in the US Black male homicide rate there is a negative correlation. In many cities you had higher rates of homicide in the 70s and 80s when Isaac Hayes and Kool and the Gang were popular than Bone Thugs. The heroin and crack surges explain a lot of this. I am guessing the invasion of drugs into rural America is partly fueling this.

Drill music is probably the fertilizer---it isn't the seeds.

Since you are 100 percent sure, point to your evidence. Show me what counts as “rural”, and who are the perpetrators.

Go ahead and point me to the evidence of drill music increasing murders in rural areas.

That is the opposite of the point in my post....I don't think drill music is what caused the increase. It is almost certainly an accessory in many crimes committed though. I talked about the negative correlation between gangster rap and violence in the 90s to show it will be nearly impossible to show drill music caused any of this and I don't think it did. Once the ball is rolling though it doesn't help.

See Chester, PA. There's only 30k people there, but 30 people a year get killed there...for like the last 30 years. Murder rate is 100 per 100,000. For reference, everyone's favorite scapegoat Chicago is only 20 per 100,000. Everyone knows everyone that's killing or being killed in Chester.

If you only include the Black and Mexican parts of Chicago then the murder rate is worse than the deadliest parts of Latin America

2013 was the year “don’t like” dropped..do the math

anybody seriously trying to put this all on drill music and not the fact that the cost of living has skyrocketed and lack of opportunities are getting even smaller on top of the increase of drugs coming into the United States which is the real problem. Not saying Drill music or anything else, such as the fact that most media (especially) black is based on violence of course it has an impact on but it’s not the cause.

Black parents are also a major reason why this is happening but no one points the fingers at them and how they and don’t prepare for their children and the child’s future.

Look at how people go crazy for streamers, going viral, podcasts etc. fukk the club up being universally banned.

But music has no effect? That White Boy Ross from UK making a bag off Black Death but music has no effect? He’s not the only one, it’s countless AI content creators too, and Jake, and Adam, and Vlad. Man I seen that old head Daquan Wiltshire wear a King Von shirt as well. It ain’t just the youth, adults got it twisted too.

Need more RDC World’s and AMP’s. Best Black entertainers for the youth excluding Kai. AMP is why everyone is saying the slang now. But entertainment has no effect. It is not the cause but it certainly has an effect. We forgetting “Not Like Us” already?

 

[Paradoxical Tiger]

All of yall are right man. It’s the music, parents, cost of living, etc. Y’all go to understand that there’s NEVER a single cause for stuff like this to happen at the macro level

 

[Higher Tech]

I want to add, I don’t think it’s the music as much as social media that spreads this idea of gangsterism.

Yea my family owns land in rural Alabama and my dads dream is to make it viable for the next generations……I looked at the crime rate in the area and I was like

There is literally no context or data to support what you’re saying, especially in relation to the research posted.

The only thing you know that out of 690 gun victims in rural areas, 204 were black. You don’t even know what counts as rural, where the people are being killed, nor whom they’re being killed by, and the first thing brought up is drill music and black on black crime.

It’s very telling that in a population that is 90 percent white or other as the article states, you want to blame other black people. It doesn’t get any more anti-black than that.

Yep, stay blind to our issues, in typical Coli fashion...

Respect for even considering this decision as we need as many educators of color as we can, in your opinion is there hope for fixing the educational system in majority black spaces? What can we as a community do to improve outcomes?

This is a broken record, but it all starts at home. You have to push the importance of education & acting right in school from an early age.

Not saying you have to raise a Urkle type dude, cause I work in Clayton County & it’s some hood ass students who do right in school cause they’re pushed by their hood ass parents to do right. At the same time there are parents who seem nice and have their head on straight, but those are the ones who you can never get in contact with.

Plus you gotta have teachers that really want to teach & make an impact on kids in low income areas despite other districts paying more. I can say my school is good on that part. Half of us grew up in clay co so we already know what the deal is & we wanna see these kids do right.

This was gonna be my answer. Music & social media..the clout.
