This has been explained to you already.

When adjusted for poverty, all races in the US commit crime at the same rates.

So the question isn’t about Black people committing crimes at higher rates, it should be Why are so many Black Americans living below the poverty line?

But you already knew this, yet continue with your posts so I’m guessing you have a certain mentality that does not listen to reason.

This is intellectually weak. Poverty and violence is a vicious cycle. You need look no further than the great society to understand the interventions that cut the legs out from underneath the development of a meaningful African American middle class. The unintended, for the less jaded, consequences of purported helpful intervention. And at this point it’s irredeemable. Married, stable families, across races, correlate with escape from poverty. African American out of wedlock birth rate is quickly approaching 80%. There is no remedy to fix it, the prior remedies are what created and have perpetuated the issue.

The US military murders far more people than any other organization on the planet.

Pretty sure it is not run by poor black males.

Wall Street steals far more money from regular people than any criminal organization in our history.

Pretty sure poor black males don't run Wall Street.

+1. As a small government Conservative, I believe that the President should take direct responsibility for the actions of each and every American.

This is country founded on violence. The white settlers killed the Indigenous people they found here and then used African people as slaves for years after that. It went to war with itself to maintain the institution of slavery. Violence is part of this country's DNA regardless of whatever you may read from posters who rush to talk about what the Native people or the Africans did. Don't let that distract you from the stated facts.

Would you name some countries that weren’t established by violence, I’ll wait.

Well duh. Criminals don't become bankers or lawyers or engineers. Of course criminals live in poverty. They have lower IQs and are more violent than successful people. It is amazing how people try argue with stats.

Fewer guns?

There are more black poor people in the united states than from all races put together? I have to find this but with 11% of the population I wouldn't think there are more poor black people or maybe even more poor black people than white people, Who has the data on this.

14.2 million White in poverty

8.1 million Black in poverty

9.5 million Hispanic in poverty.

I don't know if the original statement it true, that black people commit shootings at a rate of 10-1 compared to whites. Why are so many black people living below the poverty line doesn't come close to explaining the gun violence thing. Blacks only have poverty rates about 1.5% higher than all the rest of the US population put together.

Like if you attack The US Capitol building?

You forgot that President Obama (Half Black) was responsible for the killing of thousands. He loved killing people with drones. He decided to attack Libya, because he wanted to kill Muammar Gaddafi.

Meant to say 1.5 times higher.

Yes.

Other countries do not have a 2nd amendment that was made for musket owners ! Sure we need automatic rifles !?!

Japan is 97% Japanese and Iceland is mostly descendants of slaves.

Race should not be used as an excuse, The Way you wrote that seems to imply you think racial differences is a weakness, When we all know in the USA it is our greatest strength, The more diverse a country is, the more unified it is.
