Not sure what point you were trying to make posting this link. I read the first few paragraphs which noted that blacks are more likely to be homicide victims because of among other reasons they grow up in crime ridden neighborhoods. I don't think it can be successfully argued that cities have crime problems unique to them that don't also exist in similar sized cities. In fact, I don't San Francisco is the only place where people piss on light bulbs or crap in the street. For my experience in law enforcement, I think I can safely say at least 75% of young black homicidal victims are killed due to 1) non-violent drug trade, 2) the inability to solve conflict using peaceful means, and 3) retaliation.
That being the case, one has to reach deep within the dark recesses of their anal cavity to retrieve a correlation between this and some racist phenomenon. This is nothing more than a Non sequitur conclusion to deflect from the truth. I suggest more would come from blacks deciding that they will no longer tolerate this behavior in their community and demand higher standards of decency.
In addition, it's a shame "their" President is blind to this and has left a legacy of commuting sentences of some major drug traffickers while maintaining a dishonest narrative that these people were non-violent offenders.
This is an article about one of the most prolific drug traffickers in Baton Rouge's history whose life sentence was commuted by Obama and released having served just 19 years.

Understanding how drug trafficking and murder are more often than not mutually inclusive, one can only wonder how many homicides were committed on the order of this non-violent offender.
So keep up the deflection of what is the
real cause of the disparity in racial makeup of homicide victims, but it really is a hollow argument.
