There's approximately 1 million gang members in the US, 34% of which are black=340k, there are approximately 30k gun deaths per year, subtract accidental deaths and suicides=12k, so if each gang banger killed 1 person 12k people out of a population of 43 million black people.

Blacks commit 36% of the violent crime in the US but make up only 13% of the population. Blacks in England commit crimes at nearly 3 times the rate of their population rate. Why do blacks commit violent crimes at such a high rate?

Those actually killing other people, that doesn't account for repeat offenders, and mass shootings in drive-bys. So out of .5% a small percentage of that are violent criminals and a smaller amount are murders racking up bodies like navy seals. So your 13%=53% is a racist stat.

Blaming an entire population for the acts of a few degenerate individuals and trying to explain it away as a genetic disorder is akin to Leonardo DiCaprio in Django explaining how inferior black people are genetically. These issues are a combination of education and economic.

In order to solve the problem, try actually providing a solution by fixing education (school freedom) and economic opportunity (career opportunities, entrepreneur opportunities, trades) in order to keep fathers in homes. One of the first things black men do when economically...

Talking points about fatherless homes and criminality as if black people need to be "told about ourselves" without providing a solution is exactly why we're not even an option. That tone is not taken with any other population we as conservatives try to reach.

How do other people or government or outsiders help specific issues within the black community? What role should white people play in helping? Serious question. I’m tired also of hearing about the problem. What’s the solution?

First, the federal government cannot make policy that can undo decades of local policy that destroys communities. We as conservatives should promote conscious hip-hop culture as a counter to the popular media narrative of thug-life culture.

The media took many of the productive black family shows off the air like Family Matters, The Jeffersons, The Cosbys and The Wayans Brothers. Recently some have reappeared focusing on family values but we disagree with them politically.

I see these cultural conservative shows as an opportunity in addition to the rise in school choice support and 2A support in the black community. If we recognize what is already present that we can work on together, then we can move the ball forward.
