Yep, this is true. But the uncomfortable fact is that black people are also disproportionately represented in violent crime. The disparity in killings doesn't disappear if you account for this, but it's much less dramatic.

As you say, the homicide rates in some black communities is a real problem that is pretty much ignored because it's not politically convenient. BLM isn't talking about them. Politicians aren't weighing in on the trials, But the people in these communities are crying out for help.

It's a pleasure talking to you too. I know I have a platform here and I take it seriously. So I value talking to people who see things differently to me but who want black poeple to thrive. As long as that's the common goal, I'm always happy to have people keeping me honest.
