Thanks for these statistics, I think the issue is pretty clearly "urban" as even the article points out. As other commenters have said it has more to do with poverty than race, it's just that blacks are generally heavily concentrated in poor communities. It may have nothing to do with race outside of the correlation of race to income levels in many communities, but the fact remains we are failing our black populations.
