Will Trump seize the apparent assassination attempt against him as an opportunity to meaningfully address the epidemic of gun violence in America? Will he deem unacceptable the dangers to which citizens are exposed as they go to schools, places of religious worship, concerts, movie theaters, supermarkets, shopping malls, sporting events, and now, presidential campaign rallies? It’s possible, but unlikely.
Butler is less than an hour north of Pittsburgh. It isn’t an urban center. But many big cities in which large numbers of Black Americans reside have long been plagued with inexcusably high levels of gun violence. Everytown Research and Policy’s analysis of 2018-2022 FBI data shows that Black people in Pittsburgh are 14 times more likely to die by gun homicide than are whites in the place affectionately known as “the Steel City.”
On the other side of the commonwealth, Philadelphia’s gun homicide rate was 30.8 fatalities per 100,000 residents in 2022. Blacks comprise the city’s single-largest racial group. They’re five times more likely to die by gunfire than are whites. Milwaukee, where this year’s Republican National Convention is being held, has the sixth-highest homicide by firearm rate in the nation. There, Blacks are 6.7 times more likely to be shot and killed than are white residents.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee has repeatedly contended that the August 2023 release of his criminal mugshot deeply resonated with Black voters because they know firsthand the unfairness of our nation’s criminal justice system. He has since relied on that narrative to persuade more Black Americans to cast votes for him this November.

I was wondering about this.
Cool, thanks!
not ridiculous
are you?
“I am a diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) expert.”
CLICK...made it thru the first sentence though.
A DEI expert? Translation: an idot.
*It is a ridiculous premise. Most black people are not exposed to gunfire. Dumb.*
Most of them probably know someone who has.
Maybe they should listen to this new rap song about the attempted Trump assassination.

Trump is already appealing to many Blacks.
Trump will not publicly appeal to them regarding the shooting. Democrats do those things and he’s above that.
Thanks for the link.
Earned Trump a new nickname. “Donald Duck.”
Heck of a slap in the face for black people.
“I am a diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) expert.”
That’s as far as I got
And many live in urban areas where just like the attendee who was killed, you don’t have to be the intended target to be killed or injured by crazy people using guns.
Of course it is ridiculous. It was intended to be a humorous meme that circulated immediately after the event. Black men support Trump because he offer jobs (not promises) and they see illegals taking jobs. And I bet many of them see Kamala as the kind of woman that has dissed them and married a white guy.
So yes, Trump is doing well among black male voters, but not because he is a convict who was shot yesterday.
wow - awesome with a capital A

Forensics or administrative?
