    Wow you’re really dunking on an incredibly tragic situation to prove what exactly? This is low, even for you.

    tragic situation? This isn't a one off. This is systemic gross negligence over an extended period of time by a black community, their black elected officials, the black school system to victimize their own black children. It's a non issue because the villain is in the mirror. 300 black kids murdered by 300 black suspects, and not a trash can is turned over. 80,000 black kids can't get a decent education and not a single sign carried by a single protester.
    One cop shoots a criminal suspect and a city closes down for a week.

    people get the community they want, not the one they need.

    Classic. Entire communities are committing mass suicide, economic and educational Suicide and you get testy when it’s brought to your attention that it’s done by the consent of the same community. Businesses are going under because they can’t find minimally qualified employees and the same community has 3 times the unemployment of the nation. Get testy.

    And this only happens in black communities.

    Well, actually...

    If you've seen the measures Black communities have had to take in order to protect themselves, you'd understand that is the furthest thing from the truth.

    It's mostly the white folks committing medical sepukku these days.

    No. But according to the FBI’s 2016 crime in America report:
    Blacks commit 52.6% of murder and non negligent Homicde. 29.1% of rape. 54.5% of robbery

    in fact it appears that only DUI actually breaks down according the racial demographic of the country. Though males clearly are over represented .

    2016 is chosen because it avoids having a trump toad be involved in the report

    It also happens in poor white communities. The guys at the top, often churchmen, fleece everyone for their money. Poverty is a helluva drug. Desperation, too.

    Bingo. These things are obviously socioeconomic, not inherently racial.

    Black Americans are way more likely to be living in poverty, stuck in subpar public schools, subject to polution and harmful chemicals in their environment such as lead. ... and maybe most importantly, there are a significant number of them relative to their population who are stuck in shitty neighborhoods that are de facto segregated and are inescapable. i.e. They don't have the means to easily move to a more prosperous low-crime neighborhood that won't swallow up their kids and turn them into FBI crime statistics.
