Racism refers to beliefs, not facts. The left, of course, believes that facts are necessarily racist and somehow the disparity in death rates is due to White machinations.

“Don’t want none, don’t start none.”

Black on black crime has become the ‘soto voce’ of the local politicisns, except for reelection.

Gang warfare was happening during my last 2 years of high school, and during high school hours, in Connecticut, 1968 - 1970, including chains, bats, knives, and zip guns. So, it is nothing new. And yes, those gangs did include: blacks Cubans, Puerto Ricans.
Nothing new to me.

Yet the article doesn't state who is killing these young black men, which is other black men.

_______________________________________________________

Often all a TV news station has to do is post the location of a neighborhood. Or a name of the victim or perp.

Then that’s all anyone has to know about how or why the crime occurred.
