At long last, the liberal establishment has produced evidence that blacks are oppressed; they are even being murdered:

In a paper published in the journal Homicide Studies, University of Toronto social work professor Tanya Sharpe and colleagues argue that the prevalence and spread of homicide grief — the grief that follows the murder of a loved one — in Black communities throughout the global diaspora can be viewed as a pandemic.

As we know from COVID-19, pandemics justify ham-fisted Big Government interventions.

“Homicide grief in Black communities in North America and beyond has reached pandemic proportions,” says Sharpe, Director of The CRIB [Centre for Research and Innovation for Black Survivors of Homicide Victims] and an Associate Professor at U of T’s Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work. “A comprehensive public health framework that incorporates anti-Black racism is essential not only for addressing the trauma from this kind of loss, but also for reducing homicide rates.”

The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the agenda. That goes double for public health lately.

Behold the evidence racism:

In 2020–2021, homicide rates were eight times higher for Black American males and four times higher for Black American females than their white counterparts.

Not only America but also guns are racist:

Although Black Americans make up roughly 14% of the U.S. population, they account for more than half of gun homicide victims.

This might be why the…

…U.S. Surgeon General recently declared gun violence a national public health crisis, noting the disproportionate impact of this violence on Black Americans.

We are told that “structural racism and systemic inequalities” are responsible for all these black people being murdered.

We are not told who is actually killing them. For that we turn to statistics from the hardly right-wing FBI, which admits that a black homicide victim is over 10 times more likely to be killed by another black than by a white, despite there still being a lot more whites out there for now.

Meanwhile, the authors decry “overrepresentation of Black people in the criminal justice system,” as if this were not because they are the ones committing the crime, and as if unleashing black criminals on their neighborhoods lowers the homicide rate.

The violence liberals attempt to exploit politically is severely exacerbated by their policy of defunding/demoralizing/marginalizing police and encouraging Communities of Color to run riot. Academics who spew black victimology crap are not merely useless but pernicious. They inflict as much damage on blacks as on the rest of us, if not more.
