On a per-county level, homicide rate is something like 0.8 correlated to % black. The large county with the lowest black homicide rate is Collins County, TX - also ironically the most conservative large county by vote.
When I ran the numbers I had the expectation that there would be a positive correlation between how conservative a county is and homicides per capita once adjusted for inflation. There is zero correlation - and when you remove NYC counties (arguably not indicative of leftist counties, because there is mass surveillance and a heavy police presence, both things that the left vehemently opposes), the correlation actually runs the opposite way. More conservative counties have a lower black homicide rate!
