the onus is on the black community to stop devaluing one another, yes, that's a collective thing, not just the killers. lack of value is learned well before someone takes a life
and you can try to conflate this to a systemic racism thing, when it's not. if we control for economics, black men are killing each other at a higher clip than poor white men. yes, black men face other systemic obstacles but trying to paint their economic position as the reason they kill as much when other groups in the same socioeconomic bracket don't as an excuse doesn't fly
that's great that violent crime has decreased, but it's still disproportionately affecting black men. homicide is the leading cause of death for black men under 44, 35% for black males under 19, 27% for 20-44....every other group it's illness or accidents...but let's celebrate the US's collective stat on crime going down (which also coincides with black incarceration rates going up) as a win
