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.

The axiom is that blacks are never ever responsible for their own actions.
Boiling warming caused by racists.
All part of the plan to keep dividing the nation.
and Trumpian’s gotta be Trumpians in there?
According to the study, Milwaukee had the highest segregation index, which tracks racial disparities in schools and neighborhoods, while Baltimore had the highest unemployment rate. Cleveland had the greatest income inequality.
The researchers think racial disparities must be caused by structural racism, and Structural Racism and its results lead to mass shootings.
If you are not a guilt-stricken white or a resentful black, you will read causation the other way: the more violent and criminal blacks become, the more white people leave for whiter pastures, and the more businesses and jobs leave the area.
White on black crime is minuscule. Black on white crime is far more prevalent. And black on black crime, well. We know about that.
This is 100% true. See the FBI Uniform Crime Report for any year.
Is there anything they can't do?!
MAGA racists are causing the planet to boil. This is science. It cannot be questioned.
If we weren’t so racis’ the youts wouldn’t be cappin’ each other.
Blacks kill blacks and it is the white people’s fault. I’m paraphrasing Menachim Begin but …. Everything is white people’s fault. Or climate change.
Lol. JAMA studies. Lolol. Medical Imperialists for whom the only “treatment” is violence inducing drugs and ECT.
Oh gosh. Why are there so many mass shootings? Oh I don’t know. Could it be that the drugs the DRs put people on have warnings that they induce violence and suicide? Could that have something to do with it?
We have a moronic society. It can’t see the obvious.
LOL. I was just going to say, it’s either racism or climate change. Good call. 👍
And certain politicians are taking umbrage at the fact that blacks actually learned useful trades during slavery. They learned agriculture, animal husbandry, wheelwrights, blacksmithing, carpentry, weaving, bookkeeping, beekeeping, and every other skilled activity of the era. Screw the certain politicians.
Structural systemic racism is having a president who as a senator voted for school segregation.
And the vice president whose family were huge slave traders.
Structural social and economic safety nets that allow for zero personal responsibility are to blame….. sorry CNN
