Lead is a cope.

It's a poisonous element dating back to Roman times. We should absolutely be concerned why companies think it's a good idea to put it in products and profit.

Crime rates started rising in the 60s for the same reason they're rising now: letting Blacks run wild.

The Black population didn't increase. It was always 13% of the population. And the biggest spike happened in the 1990s but dropped.

The video also shows similar trends in the UK, Canada & Australia.

They were already phasing it out by the 70s.

1994 study had indicated that the concentration of lead in the blood of the U.S. population had dropped 78% from 1976 to 1991.[105]

Yes, but other countries were still using it as of 2021. And the definition of "acceptable lead" levels also wasn't finalized until much recent.

So even a single miligram of lead in babies is still going to screw them up.

EPA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) agree that there is no known safe level of lead in a child's blood. Taking action to reduce these exposures can improve outcomes. Lead is harmful to health, especially for children.

It's NOWHERE near a single milligram. Lol. We're talking micrograms per deciliter here.

I'll admit that I exaggerated the number.

Why does the black population need to increase for there to be more black crime?

Edit: You know what? I just noticed every comment you make here is about blacks in general. And with that username, I'm just not obsessed about them. Sorry.

Not every comment, but most are, that's true.

Besides, you responded to the previous comment about letting blacks run wild by saying that the black population didn't increase. I just wanted to know what that had to do with the crime rate increasing.

The Black population didn't increase. It was always 13% of the population. And the biggest spike happened in the 1990s but dropped.

Relative to the white population it's increased massively. Around 1950 the ratio would have been something like 9 whites to 1 black. Now it's probably 4 or 3 whites to 1 black, especially if you discount the boomers (60+) who are irrelevant for most of these types of stats.
