| Researchers Are Now Blaming Mass Shootings in Black Communities On 'Structural Racism' |
| 2023-07-22 |
[Gateway] A group of researchers at Tulane University have conducted a study that claims structural racism plays a part in mass shootings. Researchers from Tulane studied 51 metropolitan areas across the United States and concluded communities with higher black populations have more mass shooting than communities with a higher white population. The study notes that structural racism may play a part in mass shootings and defined structural racism as "the normalized and legitimized range of policies, practices, and attitudes that routinely produce cumulative and chronic adverse outcomes for people of color." The study further shares that Chicago led all cities in mass shootings with 141 mass shootings, which led to 97 deaths. |

| #11 You know, I'm starting to think there is structural racism. It's called the Democratic Party. Their insane desire to keep people on the plantation and wearing their slave collars knows no bounds. So now when their 'slaves' get uppity, they are just blaming us like they do for everything else since they are the poster boy for projection. |

| #10 Every analysis of criminal justice statistics finds blacks disproportionately represented in criminal behavior, and in being victims of crime in high density minority neighborhoods. Stripped of all the weasel-wording, the data boils down to the inevitable question - are blacks disproportionately prone to criminal behavior or is the system designed by structural racism to disproportionately arrest and prosecute them? Inevitably, one of those answers is politically unacceptable, hence the insistence on racism as a causation for the data. However tortured the reasoning, only racism can be acceptable as an explanation. There are lots of contributing factors to the dis proportionality, some racist, some cultural, and many economic, including enabling public policies. BUT, the criminal justice system has never been the predominant factor in the disparity. Disproportionate criminal behavior is a major factor, and to deny that is mere intellectual cowardice. |

| #9 I agree with Structural Racism being the root cause if the proposal is that Democrat control is the equivalent of Structural Racism. The results speak for themselves. |

| #7 a couple of years ago now the big word was agency. Is it now the thing that blacks don't have any? Who took it from them. |

| #4 "the normalized and legitimized range of policies, practices, and attitudes that routinely produce cumulative and chronic adverse outcomes for people of color." Wouldn't that include a practice for a propensity for randomly-applied, excessive firepower? |

| #2 A few ways to look at this . 1. Which Political Party was responsible for setting up the 1960's Voter Plantations? 2. Of these 51 metropolitan areas how many are run by which Political Party. 3. So IF Whites are to blame for Blacks killing Blacks. which Political Party developed, funded and implemented The Great Society ? 4. Which Political Party was responsible for 64+% of all Black or African American kids in 2021 being fatherless? 5. Some additional numbers: |

| #1 communities with higher black populations have more mass shooting than communities with a higher white population How odd. |
