The thing is, White people kill white people in America at about the same rate as they do in Western Europe. As a white person, I am happy with the amount of attention paid to preventing other white people from killing me.
I would like the overall statistic to come down to match, and I think that starts with eliminating variables and finding common threads in how these murders occur. One thread that seems high on the list of suspects is the war on drugs.
Personally I would abolish it entirely. Not only should all drugs be legal to possess and use, they should be legal to produce and sell without tremendous additional tax (to prevent another de-facto black market, like illicit grain alcohol and native reservation cigarette smuggling).
