Why doesn't anyone talk about the high homicide mortality rates per capita in red states?

Because we mostly live in blue states or in blue cities so we don't even notice this. Most of the answer to these questions is that despite democrat shill talk regarding criticism to the party, damn near everyone participating in these topics are democrats and exist in democratic bubbles where what's going on on the other side is really out of sight out of mind.

Like of the cities mentioned in your OP, the only one I can think of that would be relevant to my thinking and understanding (or any black person's I know thinking) is Jacksonville. Like who is thinking about any of them other cities you mentioned or trying to figure out what's going on with those cities if there isn't an agenda to be pushed? And I'm actually shocked Jacksonville has a republican Mayor.

Same. It's a bunch of cherry picking on that list of cities. The truth is these people with these talking points don't really give a fukk about the murder rate because they are insulated from it.
It's black people that are the ones dying. They don't give a fukk about the murder rate beyond using it as a tool or talking point against the other team - all the while real people, mostly black, are out there dying.

Who are leading the cities that's skewing the numbers in those states? What are the demographics of those cities? Who are committing these murders?
Insofar as Oklahoma is concerned, it is led by a Republican. Its violent crime is higher than that of the country as a whole.

Because it’s more “sexy” to talk about crime in Chicago or New York than Oklahoma. It’s like how people would laugh if a dude came up to them talking about they thuggin and are from Oklahoma City or Fresno. Hiphop putting certain cities on the map definitely helped shape this too imo.

The proliferation of firearms in the south allows easy access to virtually anyone with serious intent.

Arms trafficking is big down there because it doesn't much to move them around.

Houston, Dallas, New Orleans, Atlanta, Charlotte, Memphis, Nashville, Augusta, The Hamptons, Raleigh, Savannah, Jackson, Little Rock, Birmingham, Montgomery, Miami, Orlando, Tampa Bay, etc, etc

Black folks still aggregate in mass numbers to big cities like this in the South which for the most part all blue cities/blue metros. Not saying there aren't black folks living in the boonies and whatnot, but where there's a noticeable black presence that city tends to skew democrat. People aren't thinking about these republican lead boonie cities with a black presence until it's time to attack republicans. :yeshrug:

You got eyes to see. If you can see this, you can understand how its money to be made off of black death as well. And some black elected officials are in on it sadly

Exactly. No different than how the food and pharmaceutical industry are connected. One sells you the product that fukks you up and the other sells you the product that's supposed to offer you relief but in the process can fukk you up even worse.
Wait until the black grievance industry finally cracks the code and can monetize black on black crime.
