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.

It’s violent blacks that cause the bulk of the violent crime in the country. It’s not “racism” structural or otherwise. It’s not “climate change”, or “white supremacy”.
What do they attribute the violence in countries that are majority black and are run by blacks? Are they saying that the black rulers are “racist” towards the blacks they govern?
They don't realize what they wrote....
This is how the Left has viewed blacks going back to slavery days. The "great society" reinforced this mindset that blacks were too dumb or lazy to do things on their on.
Studies generally ALL SUCK. Government grants gone bad.
In a way it is.....except, it's driven by breakdown of the family caused by the failed "great society" which effectively doomed the black community.
And it's being further reinforced today through the bigotry of low expectations in the school system and elsewhere.
“racism or climate change”
Racist climate change?
Structural Corruption in the Federal Government is Rampant.
Gas stoves and gas hot water heaters.
Again, using the bogus definition that IGNORES motive and intention.
True “mass murders” or shootings are MEANT to deliberately hurt multiple, RANDOM people, as opposed to ‘hood violence which usually is targeted and simply carelessly fires into crowds just to get the victims they truly want. They don’t care if it’s a crowd or just those targets, and they are bad shots who just “accidentally” shoot others happening to be in the way.
This is very different from those who deliberately intend to shoot multiple people, usually at a single location and usually regardless of who it is. Just where it is is the most important.
“Structural racism” = “White people bad,” but that’s not racism.
Black dude massacres five white people in Georgia yep it’s structural racism makes total sense
That is right, sadly.
It’s real simple
Stay in school
Stay off drugs
Stay out of fights and gangs and illegal activities
Get a job, show up on time, and learn as much as you can.
As opposed to unstructured racism?
Rappers glorify drugs and hoes....that negates the stay off drugs
Gangs are glorified in black culture.
The "great society" discouraged working as does modern Leftist thinking.
As Shapiro said it's not the skin....it's the culture.
LOL
total BS
Everyone, regardless of race, is always most at risk from violence from someone they know.
Most white people will do nearly anything to stay away from people of any race that they deem might do violence against them or their families. They will commute an hour to work and pay outrageous sums to private schools and other things to keep their families away from violent people that liberals let run rampant in their neighborhoods.
Many blacks are not the same and CHOOSE to live in areas surrounded by people who will almost certainly do them or their children grave harm, and vote for people who wont do anything about it. Segregation ended over 60 years ago.
Most headlines from the MSM are BS, study says.
Most killing is by people who know each other. Whites know more whites. Hispanics know Hispanics. Blacks know Blacks.
Amazing number of murders and near murders are boyfriend v ex. Best friend gets drunk and does stupid.
A city has a 1,000 murders. Not more that 2 events per week hit the media. The media selectively reports some and not others.
When I was in inner city Chicago there were 7 murders on my block in 1 year. None were covered by the media. At the same time there were murders/assasinations of political anti-macine activist friends of mine. The media did not cover those those murders either.
The media is selective in its news...news about murder, news about politics, news about the economy, news about the weather, news that impacts their advertisers.
