>> The reasonable conclusion is that if you are really serious about black on black crime, the solution is to allocate resources to jobs and better income. Our government doesn't exactly have a great history when it comes to allocating resources. Which is the reason people like Bill Gates and Warren Buffett choose to do their OWN resource allocation. They recognize that government is WORST POSSIBLE allocator of resources unless there is simply no alternative. See: Veterans Administration; Minimum Wage; Raisin Confiscation. The reasonable conclusion is to eliminate the minimum wage and do other things to encourage business to train poor blacks to do meaningful work. Provide an online learning system designed to create education opportunities for people who don't have money. End the war on drugs which provides revenue support for criminal activity. That is, undo the mistakes government has made already.

Notice how they run away from white on white crime? As the data clearly shows, the bulk of it is poverty related. It is also pretty clear that black on black crime is the same, once you break it down by income. The reasonable conclusion is that if you are really serious about black on black crime, the solution is to allocate resources to jobs and better income. But that isn't the solution they want to hear. Of course, they don't. Deep down.......they believe its more than just about poverty and that allocating resources will be a wasted effort. What they need to believe trumps what the reality is every time. We've seen that consistently on this thread.
