Is there any truth at all in this hopeless drivel?
Gun deaths surge and disproportionately affect young black males
quote:

Federal officials and outside experts are not certain what caused the surge in gun deaths. The rise corresponded to accelerated sales of firearms as the pandemic spread and lockdowns became the norm, the C.D.C. noted.

But federal researchers also cited increased social, economic and psychological stressors; disruptions in routine health care; tension between police and community members following George Floyd’s murder; a rise in domestic violence; inequitable access to health care; and longstanding systemic racism that contributes to poor housing conditions, limited educational opportunities and high poverty rates.
If only the local rappers had better access to healthcare. Please, someone tell them quickly!

The citizens in the video above and many like them could very well have more cash, and they certainly have more merchandise than I do. What, oh what, could it be?

Need more midnight basketball programs.

Seriously, though, I have little sympathy for them in this matter until they acknowledge it is actually a cultural problem they have created with the dismissal of the nuclear family, victim mentality, and the glorification of the hood culture.

One started happening because of the other, but not the way the CDC wants it to be.

hint: Woke DAs, gutless judges, and emasculating the police. Thats a really good start if you truly want to understand the problem. Which, they don't.

In other words, let’s blame racist white people. Once again.

Without reading the article I guarantee there are no concrete examples of all this white racism.

limited educational opportunities

This is the biggest lie currently being sold in this whole bullshite debate.

Inner city black youth have more access to education than almost anyone, and most of it is free. They can go to college......for free. They will then be given preferential treatment in whatever job market they enter after graduation.

They have every advantage they could ask for as far as education goes. They, and their families, just don't give a shite. There is little value to them in an education.

I thought The Affordable Care Act required people to buy insurance. Why aren't they following the law that they voted for?

It's really quite simple. Black people have been manipulated by the left. They've been told they're too stupid to function in society. They've been told everyone is out to get them. They've been told it's ok to sit at home and do nothing because nothing will ever be their fault. Young black males are the single most dangerous demographic in the country.... to other young black males.

It's not just one thing, but a number of factors. I e would be our national media (see: NYT) demonizing police at white people writ large. They have put forward the narrative that minority communities are justified in their actions at the smallest personal slight towards them. It's all systemic and historical racism and why should they have to put up with it and follow the laws of civil and polite society? They shouldn't in the eyes of publications like the NYT.

So, in summary, the New York Times is responsible for the rise in gun violence in minority communities.

There aren't too many hospitals in rural areas. Where's the NYT article about this inequity?

longstanding systemic racism that contributes to poor housing conditions, limited educational opportunities and high poverty rates.


The government is providing most with a roof over their head. It's up to the individual to keep it from being "poor housing conditions ".

Also, last time I checked, every child in this country has a free education available to them. In fact, those that are urban poor, more than likely has a school in very close proximity to their residence.

Further, affirmative action actually makes it MORE accessible to education if you are a minority.

The blame will be placed everywhere but on the actual cause of it.

This is infuriating to read. They intentionally tap dance around the real answer because it doesn't fit the leftist narrative.

The entire society engages in intentional obtuseness

We look at major cultural/societal problems and then immediately put the biggest contributing items to the side, then we spend millions and countless hours talking and debating about what it could possibly be

It's staggering. Take one tiny sliver of the crime surge, the black-on-asian hate crime phenomenon. How many thousands of media hours have been spent talking about Asian hate without acknowledging that like 98% of the crimes are black on Asian?

Imagine what we could do with the time/money/energy we spend trying not to see things that are happening.
