To me, a murder rate of 94000/100000 is a genocide, and 81.7/100000 is not.

- fwungy 4y agoMore black men are murdered in the US than white men. But whites outnumber blacks by at least 4:1. Call it whatever you like, but acknowledge that this is horrific. https://www.statista.com/statistics/251877/murder-victims-in-the-us-by-race-ethnicity-and-gender/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/251877/murder-victims-in...
- p1esk 4y agoSome young men face a tough choice - work at McDonalds for $8/hr, or work for a local gang selling drugs on the streets. Yes, this choice in US is forced by society upon overwhelmingly black or latino men. But it is still a choice, and not every black man born in a poor neighborhood chooses a violent life of a gang member. I have zero sympathy for criminals who're killing each other. Have you tried comparing murder rates of innocent non-violent civilians across different races?
