That’s actually a great point. We never have any idea what’s going on with those communities but it’s like “oh fuck why did this happen let’s figure it out” outside of them

I’ve actually never thought of that before

I don’t think it’s that violence is innate to black folks. It’s that when you’re in the hood, barrio, trailer park, poverty is a direct cause of violence and shootings in these places are not surprising. I don’t hear anything about the trailer park motives either. I do kinda assume it is drug related in the trailer park but I don’t know.

There’s also distrust with authorities where a lot of folks just don’t talk to them. So then how do you investigate and report? I think this is a bit of a race baiting self serving position.
