Whatever the reason, they commit about half the homicides in the USA despite being only 12% of the populations.

It’s pretty fucking staggering.

And you know how you fix that problem? Anti-poverty programs and helping rebuild black communities and family values. Larry Elder has a simple guide to help solve this

These programs have been in place for 60 years and fatherlessness/poverty has gotten worse for them. Govt intervention has hurt them. The war on poverty is fairing as well as the war on drugs. Poverty was plummeting until the welfare state was initiated, the answer is more policing and less economic intervention.

Perhaps better policing. American policing sucks ass on the whole compared with basically the rest of the civilised world. More of what you have wont end well.

Welfare isn't meant to help people, it's meant to make them dependent on the government. If it actually lifted blacks out of poverty, they wouldn't have to vote Democrat every election to keep their check.
