Black women are six times more likely to be killed than white women, a new report has found.

The study, published in The Lancet medical journal Thursday, analyzed homicide rates of women 25 to 44 years old in 30 different states between 1999 to 2020. It found that Black women are more likely to be killed by shooting, piercing, cutting or other types of violence than white women.


Black women are also more likely to be killed with a firearm than white women.

The greatest disparities were found in Wisconsin, where Black women were 20 times more likely to be murdered than white women between 2019 and 2020.

“These trends reflect systems that have long disserviced communities of colour, and underscore that sustained investment and vision to support underserved communities are critical to reverse racial injustices that impact health and wellbeing,” said Keyes, a professor of epidemiology at Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University.

In other words, black men, who are enormous statistical outliers for murdering women, aren't really to blame for their crimes. Whitey is.

Does the neighborhoods and the company they keep have any effects on this

That would be because black men kill at a much higher rate than any other demographic in this country.

This is surprising. As violent as black neighborhoods are I thought this would be much higher.

What this tells us is that black women are 6x more annoying than white women.
I am shocked that the multiplier is not higher.

Because black women are in more regular contact with black men, who murder at rates higher than any other demographic in America.

Also, this practice of capitalizing black but not white needs to be called out whenever possible. There is no reason for doing it other than to promote racism.

From the article:
quote:

“As a scholar whose research examines intimate partner violence, I have long known that there were disparities in homicide rates between Black and white women,” Waller, a National Institute of Mental Health postdoctoral research fellow, said in a statement.

Relevant: Black People and Morality They've had 200+ years to wash this out of their culture and it's been a big fail. It's been passed on through multiple generations.

Why should anyone care?

They keep hanging with trash, voting for trash and living in sharthole/trashy areas, it's going to continue to happen.

Hmmmmmmm...
So, we know black "communities" have higher crime rates than other communities.

It's reasonable to assume black women live in black communities.

Black women are more susceptible to being victims of crime.

Nothing racist about that, its totally logical.

This guy just can't help himself apparently. More black women are murdered than white women, so it must racism, systemic or otherwise, to blame.

Everybody with two firing synapses knows why, and it ain't whitey's fault. That is a fact that someone else's "truth" cannot dispel.
