The term ‘gun violence’

It's like blaming forks for obesity.

The Kamal Harris says it makes my skin crawl and my nostrils flare.

I heard an interesting statistic recently and ran it thru Grok. If violent crimes committed by blacks were removed from the statistics, the US would have a relatively low crime rate.

If we were to hypothetically remove crimes attributed to Black individuals from the stats, the violent crime rate would indeed drop significantly. For simplicity, let’s assume Black individuals commit 26.6% of all violent crimes (using the 2019 arrest data as a proxy). Removing that portion from the 2022 FBI violent crime rate (380.7 per 100,000) would leave roughly 279.5 per 100,000—a reduction of about 27%. For murder specifically, where Black individuals accounted for 51.3% of arrests, the rate would drop closer to half its current level. The U.S. murder rate in 2022 was about 6.5 per 100,000; cutting out 51.3% could bring it down to around 3.2 per 100,000.Would this make the U.S. a “very low” violence country? Compared to current U.S. rates, yes, it’d be a notable decrease. For context, countries like Canada (1.9 per 100,000 for homicide) or most Western European nations (often below 1.5 per 100,000) have lower murder rates. A U.S. murder rate of 3.2 per 100,000 would still be higher than many developed nations but closer to, say, Mexico’s lower-end estimates (around 2-3 per 100,000 in some years). For overall violent crime, a rate of 279.5 per 100,000 would still be higher than countries like Japan (around 150 per 100,000 for violent crimes) but more in line with some European nations

All violent crime stats would be an order of magnitude lower if those blacks are responsible for are removed from the count. It would probably be more than that as major cities have been undercounting such crimes, we don't actually know the true numbers. Cities like Memphis are facing audits because they are claiming that crimes are down significantly yet 3rd parties are keeping independent tallys and crimes such as homicide are not down as much as MPD would have everyone believe.
