"Bringing up violence in urban cities is one way to deflect from systemic racism. It remains a favorite tactic among some White people. It implies that if Black people are killing each other, then the more than 40 million Black Americans as a whole have no right to complain about white supremacist hate or violence.

The thinking goes, “If we don’t care about each other, why should the larger community care about our plight?”

Not only does this frame of questioning ignore the ways in which systemic racism has created pockets of poverty, a breeding ground for violence in any community. It also ignores the fact that groups and individuals have been pushing back against gun violence in Chicago for years."

BS

There is racism in the US between ALL races. Ironically, the worst "systemic" racism was perpetrated by Democrats on Blacks.

“If we don’t care about each other, why should the larger community care about our plight?”- If Blacks think that way then that is on them. It has nothing to do with anyone of ANY color stating the obvious fact that Blacks are slaughtering each other, especially in urban settings. It is glorified in music and on video....by Blacks!

"Not only does this frame of questioning ignore the ways in which systemic racism has created pockets of poverty, a breeding ground for violence in any community. It also ignores the fact that groups and individuals have been pushing back against gun violence in Chicago for years."

Push harder. Demand that those who commit such crimes be punished accordingly. Hold the Democrat admins which control these urban settings responsible for their failed policies. Ironically, here is Hawaii where racism is widespread, people still get along without murdering each other. Peolple of all races can get ahead simply by working and living a productive life.
