Black people are 12 times more likely to die from homicide.

https://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/black-americans-are-killed-at-12-times-the-rate-of-people-in-other-developed-countries/

Who is murdering all these black people?

According to the FBI statistics it's other black people.

So??

Slaves also sold out other slaves. It's partly why there haven't been many successful slave revolts


The "So?" Is that the narrative is being painted that black people are dying from lack of healthcare while ignoring the number one preventable death among black people; homicide. Homicide is the #5 cause of death for black people.

Is it the #1 or the #5? And what's the point of the fucking argument. It's crime. Aren't you a police officer? Your job is specifically the prevention for that.

Offer a solution instead of an excuse.

I fucking knew someone would say that. It doesn't surprise me at all that it was you.

Read it again, if you still can't figure it out I'll help you.

It's a statement to get you to clarify the point you are making

Are black people doing these things because that's just what they do?

Or are they in part cause by the after effects of over 400 years of Slavery and Jim Crow?

Are the discrepancies of blacks irrelevant because of these issues?

There you go, at least you figured out the key word. Heart disease can happen even to a "healthy" individual. But, I'm not getting into the weeds on that argument. Heart disease isn't preventable in all circumstances. Murder is preventable in every circumstance, the offender could have just not killed someone. It's someone that someone has control over.

That's a far reaching argument that no one is making. If we're including all deaths, but specifically targeting health related deaths, that data is not a reliable source.

In essence, the TC is probably right in the overall conclusion, but the data he's using to support his conclusion is flawed.
