Your argument is black people get killed by police less often than white people, so there is no problem?

I already made my argument, so why make up a different statement immediately below? In fact, disregard my entire comment; people like you are the problem in this country.

https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2018/crime-in-the-u.s.-...

Of the 11,514 murder offenders in 2018 where the race of the offender is known by now, 6,318 of the offenders were black: 54.9%. Blacks make up 13.4% of the us population.

I don’t get how growing up in a city with a poor economic policy causes one to become a murderer.

Are you saying that people are more likely to be murderers if their skin is black? If you took someone who was black and raised them in a world where racism never existed, would they still be more likely to be murderers than someone who was, for example, white?

No, I think that personality traits are inherited. There are genes which are correlated with aggression in the phenotype. There are other genes that are correlated with the expression of black skin the phenotype.

Are you asking that question in good faith? See this and tell me what your conclusions are: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intention...
