***Gun violence is “a part of the condition of Black people in society***

Maybe there was a reason Judge Taney of the SCOTUS, in 1857 declared free blacks were not citizens of the US. If they were, he stated, one of the rights they would have was “To keep and carry arms wherever they went.”—Dred Scott Decision

So blacks killing their own kind on a massive scale nationwide is the fault of, you guessed it, ….whitey.

It’s all systemic, it’s a part of the way society is structured,” Richardson added.

That's meaningless word salad. It's every parent's responsibility to teach their children about the sanctity of life, and respect for it. It's every parent's responsibility to make sure their children get an education and learn to make their way in the world. If you cede this responsibility to some nebulous thing called 'society', and 'societal structure', your child will suffer the consequences - and so will the people who your child might hurt in the world.

“It’s all systemic, it’s a part of the way society is structured,”

The structure is based on daily decisions by the individuals involved.

Half-ounce died a natural death. Natural to his way of life.

“It’s all systemic, it’s a part of the way society is structured,”

There was once a movement that believed that, and tried to do something about it. You can watch the movie "The Killing Fields" to find out about it.

Gun violence is “a part of the condition of Black people in society, everything that is dangerous and harmful to the larger society. There’s always going to be a disparity in our communities. It’s all systemic, it’s a part of the way society is structured,” Richardson added.

Is this "expert" saying that we should disarm Black people?!

Because that's what it sounds like he's saying!

Elaine should be stripped of her teaching credentials, summarily fired, and then ridden off the campus on a rail.

It’s a reflection of the problem of gun violence in the larger society, and violence in general in America

translation: it's society's fault. Where's the reparations?

[MrBambaLaMamba]

Whitey’s fault.

IF GUNS in the hands pf black rappers dissolved TOMORROW-They would kill each other with knives or clubs.

Problem...?...

When pig-ignorant black low-lifes kill each other off, no one cares. Black policemen are relieved, since this is one less chump they need to be aware of. No police of any color cares.

The only time someone cares, is if the lawmen happen to shoot the crim, and that a lawsuit can be mounted. IOW, is this dead dude of color worth more dead than alive, to his family? If yes, then they call lawyers to get that ghetto lottery payoff

How about trying to stop being murderous assholes for just 5 f*ing minutes there, Sparky?

[Gaffer]

Oh please. If it isn’t a gun that takes them out it could be a shiv, hammer or any other implement. It is the CULTURE that lauds violence to settle differences.
