@whstancil America has a major problem with young black men shooting each other. CDC data shows black men age 15-34 die by gun homicide 6 times as often per capita as comparably poor young Hispanic men, 24x their white counterparts, and 60x Asians.
Nature? Nurture? Both?
This needs study

@whstancil We know that at least some of the extremely high black homicide rate in the 2020s can't all be due to genes, because the black homicide death rate has been higher since the "racial reckoning" was declared after George Floyd's death. Genes don't change in a week.
@whstancil CDC data shows the black death rate from both homicides and motor vehicle accidents went up during the Ferguson Effect of the first Black Lives Matter triumph and then both soared during the Floyd Effect of the second BLM Era.
That had to be due to cultural change, not genes.

@whstancil In the CDC weekly data, we can see the black death rates from homicides and car crashes soar during the Depolicing mania of the summer of 2020 and remain elevated ever since (although fortunately, they are trending down, but not yet back to 2019). Can't be due to genes evolving:
@whstancil The thousands of incremental black lives murdered and splattered on the asphalt since the second triumph of Black Lives Matter on May 25, 2020 is a clear case of the power of Nurture over Nature. Our Establishment told cops to treat blacks differently, and so...blacks died more.
@whstancil Now, @whstancil, you may not care about how The Establishment's promotion of Black Lives Matter has gotten tens of thousand of extra African Americans killed by murder and car crash, but I do.
I must confess: I'm an anti-murderist and anti-crashite.
