"There is even more to the story: CDC data also show that within our nation’s cities, black Americans are, on average, eight times more likely to be killed by firearms than those who are white. The rate of death by gun homicide for black people exceeds those among whites in all 50 states, but there is tremendous variation in the magnitude of this disparity.
In 2015, a black person living in Wisconsin was 26 times more likely to be fatally shot than a white person in Wisconsin. At the same time, a black person in Arizona was “only” 3.2 times more likely than a white person to be killed by a gun.
The combination of being black and living in an urban area is even more deadly. In 2015, the black homicide rate for urban areas in Missouri was higher than the total death rate from any cause in New York state.
These differences across states occur primarily because the gap between levels of disadvantage among white and black Americans differs sharply by state. For example, Wisconsin — the state with the highest disparity between black and white firearm homicide rates — has the second-highest gap of any state between black and white incarceration rates, and the second-highest gap between black and white unemployment rates. Racial disparities in advantage translate into racial disparities in firearm violence victimization."

What are the racial disparities if we ask of gun shot victims “Shot by whom?”
Who is doing all that shooting?
Eh? Can’t hear you...
...crickets...
Wow...... powerful article
I don't think the Arizona FReepers will appreciate your suggestion.
Do they not reach the number 1 tenet in statistics anymore? Correlation does not equal causation.
-- to my disappointment, the Craptimes is not apparently allowing comments on this piece of ridiculous literary garbage---
“I knew it. Guns are racist too.”
A gun never killed anyone. The bullets are racist
And they cause global warming.
Exactly!
Thanks for the reference
Black and Hispanic. For decades, the FBI crime stats have counted Hispanic offenders as "white". Some states, like California, break out the Hispanic crime stats. I did the math as well some years back, and I also came to the finding that the homicide rate for Americans of European descent is around the same as the European rate.

—the center pie chart about a third of the way down the page pretty well tells it all—Chicago stats correlate pretty well with the rest of urban America—
And the only way it will stop is when the people in those communities demand that it stop.
The Thug culture worship would be a great place to start.
Its called ignoring the elephant in the room.
Well, don’t expect this article to be posted anywhere in the MSM!
It directly contradicts the LIEberal narrative, and must not see the light of day!
Where are the “leaders” of the black community?
Who is calling for blacks to obey the laws of the land?
Who is calling for blacks to accept the norms that made America the envy of the world?
Who is calling for blacks to quit killing each other?
WHO?
Yep, thanks for that info and balance.
IMO they’re tribal, murderous, bastard heathens. With gibsmedat cores from their welfare breeder mommies. And many with fathers have thug fathers, like on another thread here yesterday. Tagline.
Orwellian use of the word “by” in the article.
People are not killed “by” guns.
People are killed “with” guns.
It is terrible grammar, done deliberately to make propaganda, to remove agency and volition form the person to the firearm.
But only in Wisconsin.
It’s primarily drugs. We have been watching this drama play out since the 1990s. But we don’t do much about it so long as they’re mostly killing each other. The Democrats know exactly what the deal is and they bear plenty of the blame for the creation of this situation but that’s no reason to not exploit the situation.
