Steve Sailer brings us a piece from the New York Times Magazine with shocking insight into the rise of violent crime in the post-George Floyd era, writing that children now have a greater chance of dying from firearms than they do from being involved in a car accident, the former increasing by an insane 73%.
The piece goes on to report that children killed by firearms are disproportionately black.
Most homicides involved Black children, who make up a small share of all children but shoulder the burden of gun violence more than any others
And goes on to blame “structurally racist practices like segregation” for the fact that non-white children live among some of America’s most violent neighborhoods.
Black and Hispanic boys and girls are likelier, on average, than their white counterparts to live in neighborhoods with high levels of poverty, a situation that often stems from structurally racist practices like segregation. And they’re more likely to be proximate to the kinds of violence that are concentrated in those neighborhoods.
But as Steve Sailer writes: “They are also vastly more likely to perpetrate gun homicides.”
The piece does mention the pandemic as a contributing factor to the rise in child homicides, but doesn’t say anything about the BLM riots
A similar piece from The Guardian deals with the rise in U.S. gun crime. But in this case, The Guardian chooses to blame it on climate change.
Sailer writes: “Obviously, blacks shooting blacks in even higher numbers during the police pullback couldn’t have had anything to do with the sainted name of George Floyd.”
