Structural racism may contribute to mass shootings, study says
CNN ^ | July 20, 2023 | Nicole Chavez

Mass shootings in major metropolitan areas in the United States disproportionately affect Black people, and structural racism may play a role, according to a study published on Wednesday in the journal JAMA Surgery.

Researchers at Tulane University analyzed data relating to the 51 largest metropolitan areas, including demographic and income data as well as reports of mass shootings from 2015 to 2019 compiled by the Gun Violence Archive, a non-profit organization that tracks gun violence in the US.

CNN and the Gun Violence Archive define a mass shooting as a shooting that injured or killed four or more people, not including the shooter.

The study found that in areas with higher Black populations, mass shootings are likelier to occur compared to communities with higher White populations. There are also more Black people injured and killed when mass shootings take place, the findings say.

How come there is so much black on black shootings. I would bet that the vast majority of Blacks being killed are by other Blacks. If a White person shoots a Black, I would wager that the majority of the time it is in self-defense.

Structural racism.

Sixty years, and they go through ever more mental gymnastics to explain black underperformance, in ways that absolves blacks from having to do anything to change themselves.

Is structural racism also responsible for "teens" tearing up fast food restaurants because their order was wrong?

One thing all of those have in common is someone is recording and posting the video on social media.

Is structural racism is supposedly built in racism...the idea that it is practically part of our DNA? ..whereas systemic racism is where all the institutions are racist in order to keep the black man down?

Where do these bozos get these words: "structural racism"?

There is no such thing. These words are just more vapors from Satan's rectum.

Underlying it all, is the idea that we are all racist

Yet are morally obligated to act an an “anti racist” manner in order to benefit blacks.

They would be flummoxed if we just said “no” and stopped caring.
