Please tell me you’re not trying to say what it seems like you’re trying to say. There are few disadvantageous statistics in the us that don’t disadvantage the black community in the US, and there’s more than correlation to back up those relationships.

Of course I'd be flagged/banned for publicly suggesting a genetic factor behind that correlation, so I wouldn't do that. I only highlighted the correlation, and it is a very strong one, between race and rate of homicide by firearm in the US. Our own biases are going to heavily influence what we perceive to be the underlying reason behind this phenomenon.
