Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ted-cruz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ted Cruz</a> (R-TX) is pressing a taxpayer-funded television service over the existence of a “diversity” fund that appears to discriminate against white filmmakers and violate the Civil Rights Act, according to a <a href="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2024/02/2024.02.01-Letter-to-ITVS-re-Diversity-Development-Fund-1.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">letter</a> obtained by The Daily Wire. 
On Thursday, Cruz questioned the Independent Television Service (ITVS), a congressionally chartered production service funded by taxpayers, over its Diversity Development Fund, a <a href="https://itvs.org/funding/diversity-development-fund/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">research and development scholarship</a> of up to $35,000 that is available exclusively for “directors of color.” In a letter to ITVS CEO Carrie Lozano, Cruz said that the organization should make the fund available to applicants of all races and said that the organization appears to be biased toward liberal filmmakers. 
“Because white filmmakers are facially ineligible for this seed money, the fund runs afoul of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Section 1981 of the Civil Rights Act of 1866,&#8221; Cruz wrote. &#8220;I therefore urge you to remove race as an eligibility criterion for the Diversity Development Fund. ITVS can surely pursue its mandate to ‘expand the diversity and innovativeness’ of public programming without violating the law.&#8221;
ITVS <a href="https://cpb.org/programs/ITVS-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gets</a> about $17 million per year in taxpayer funds from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. According to ITVS, the diversity fund <a href="https://archive.ph/g79rw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">has been</a> used to make 156 films and is only eligible for filmmakers who “identify as a person of color.” 
Cruz, the ranking member on the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, said that the diversity fund was “actively flouting” federal law because Title VI of the Civil Rights Act prohibits federal dollars from going toward programs or activities that discriminate on the basis of race. The Texas Republican asked ITVS to provide full details on how much money had been allocated to the Diversity Development Fund and details on the recipients of the fund and their projects. 
Cruz said that the fund is not only discriminatory, but also appears to be pushing partisan politics with government money.
“As if this blatant violation of the law were not concerning enough, ITVS appears to almost exclusively fund documentaries from a liberal viewpoint, and may be discriminating against certain filmmakers based on political ideology,&#8221; Cruz told The Daily Wire. &#8220;I have no doubt this organization could expand the ‘diversity and innovativeness’ of public programming without violating the law, and I am hopeful ITVS will commit to removing race as an eligibility criterion for the Diversity Development Fund.&#8221;
Cruz highlighted how ITVS brags on its website about encouraging political activism. &#8220;The ITVS website features an &#8216;Impact&#8217; page demonstrating how its documentaries &#8216;inspir[e] audiences to take action&#8217; on politically charged issues like criminal justice reform. These documentaries overwhelmingly reflect a liberal worldview,&#8221; Cruz wrote in the letter.

One documentary funded by ITVS is “Racist Trees,” which was about the removal of trees from an area in Palm Beach, California, because the trees were “an enduring symbol of racism.” Another documentary, “Everything Wrong and Nowhere to Go,” examines one woman’s “search of a cure for her crippling climate anxiety in a deeply personal documentary about therapy and existential threat.” Another documentary <a href="https://itvs.org/films/almost-american/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">takes aim</a> at the &#8220;anti-immigration agenda&#8221; in Washington, D.C. while one called &#8220;Breaking the Blue Wall&#8221; <a href="https://itvs.org/films/breaking-the-blue-wall/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">challenges</a> Maryland protections for police officers. 
&#8220;Yet ITVS funds hardly any documentaries from a conservative perspective. A public organization that costs American taxpayers $17 million a year should not be a vehicle for left-wing agitprop,&#8221; Cruz wrote.
ITVS did not immediately return a request for comment on the diversity fund.

On Christmas morning, a 36-year-old black man who allegedly yelled “I want all the white people dead” reportedly stabbed two teenage white sisters enjoying a meal with their parents at a Grand Central Terminal restaurant.
The man, who had a number of prior arrests, allegedly stabbed the 16-year-old girl in the back, hitting her lungs, and the 14-year-old in the thigh. The girls, eating with their parents at the Tartinery were visiting from South America.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
According to the <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/12/26/metro/two-girls-14-and-16-stabbed-at-grand-central-on-christmas/">New York Post</a>, staffers at the Tartinery said Steven Hutcherson declared he wanted a table but added he wasn’t going to eat. When he was refused permission, he reportedly became furious and pointed to the seated family, claiming they weren’t eating, ran off, seized a knife, and then stabbed the girls.
“Everyone was just running,” a veteran MTA employee told the Post, adding the restaurant became “chaotic.”
Sources informed the post that Hutcherson had 17 prior arrests; his last arrest came on November 7, when he allegedly told a stranger in the Bronx, “I’m gonna shoot you. I don’t care what kind of green card the government gave you. Open your mouth and say something. I will shoot you right now.” He was sentenced on Dec. 12 to conditional discharge.
“DAs are chopping all the charges down. Judges are letting him go,” a law enforcement source told the Post. “Now we’ve got two teenagers who were stabbed.”
“The system could have done a better job taking care of him,” Charisma Knight, Hutcherson’s ex-girlfriend, who started dating him in 2021, told the <a href="https://www.nydailynews.com/2023/12/27/grand-central-stabbing-suspect-girlfriend-afraid-steve-hutcherson/">New York Daily News</a>. “It had to happen for someone to get hurt for them to take this seriously.” She broke up with him in November 2022. She recalled he would fall into “rages.” In March 2023, she filed for an order of protection.
“He was threatening to kill me and my family and at the same time he’s knocking on my mother’s door at 11 o’clock at night,” Knight said. “We got downstairs to the parking lot and we started fighting and when we were fighting, I bit his hand.”

The other day, I briefly talked about a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/boston-mayor-faces-backlash-over-christmas-party-excluding-white-officials" target="_blank" rel="noopener">racially segregated holiday party</a> that was just thrown by the mayor of Boston, Michelle Wu. In case you missed it, the mayor&#8217;s office only wanted to invite the non-white members of the Boston city council to the event. They wanted to exclude all the white people.
To that end, the mayor&#8217;s staff sent out a bunch of emails addressed to &#8220;electeds of color,&#8221; which is yet another example of the fact that Leftists are simply incapable of speaking English. They&#8217;re well on their way to creating their own language at this point.
But there was a problem with this party. By mistake, the mayor&#8217;s office sent out invitations to all of Boston&#8217;s city council members, including the white devils. It wasn&#8217;t just &#8220;Electeds of Color&#8221; who got an invite, seven white people got one, too. In an administration that cared about the Constitution, or basic morality, this would be a highly embarrassing episode. The mayor would apologize for discriminating on the basis of race and resign. But that&#8217;s not what happened in this case.
Instead, Wu apologized — not for the discrimination, but for accidentally sending the invitation to white people. She says that was the only error she made. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Mayor Wu addresses controversy around holiday party invitation" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ANTk8QMJ_oc?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>
The mayor also clarified that this &#8220;Electeds of Color&#8221; party has been going on for several years, and it&#8217;s only now been discovered because of the mistake that her staff made. So rest easy, the racial discrimination is nothing new. That&#8217;s the position of the mayor&#8217;s office.
Whatever you make of that, there are a few legal experts who have suggested it might violate Massachusetts law, which doesn&#8217;t allow government officials to use city resources to enforce racial segregation. The Massachusetts Public Accommodations Act bars officials from, &#8220;making any distinction, discrimination, or restriction in admission to or treatment in a place of public accommodation based on race.&#8221; This event was held at the Parkman House, which is owned by the city, although it&#8217;s not open to the public.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1279-racial-segregation-is-making-a-big-comeback-thanks-to-the-left" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show</a></h4>
Maybe that&#8217;s the &#8220;out&#8221; here. Maybe the mayor can say that it&#8217;s legal to discriminate on the basis of race, as long as it&#8217;s in a city building that isn&#8217;t a &#8220;public accommodation.&#8221; That still doesn&#8217;t address the question of why Wu was so intent on keeping white people away from this event. 
It&#8217;s especially strange given that Wu has a white husband. You might be tempted to think that Wu just wanted to attend a holiday party without her husband around. Maybe that&#8217;s what&#8217;s going on here. She also has two half-white children — are they allowed to be at the party for half the time? Is that how that works?
But this is not a completely satisfying explanation, mainly because it does seem that the mayor has a deep-seated disdain for white people, at least in general. 
For one thing, just a year ago, Wu cracked a joke about how many &#8220;white&#8221; problems she&#8217;s had to deal with in the city. Watch:

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
This is the point where you have to wonder how someone like Michelle Wu became the mayor of a city like Boston, given that she clearly hates most of the city&#8217;s residents based on their skin color. In fact, even though the white population in Boston is declining, it’s still one of the whitest major cities in the country. And yet it has, arguably, the most anti-white mayor in the country.
How does that happen? Well, not a lot of people are asking that question right now, even in Boston. As I mentioned yesterday, even white members of the city council — the very people that Wu excluded from the holiday party because of their skin color — are mostly shrugging this whole episode off. They&#8217;re suggesting it&#8217;s an isolated incident, as if that would somehow make racial segregation acceptable.
But it&#8217;s not an isolated incident, not even close. You don&#8217;t hear a lot about it, but explicit anti-white discrimination is no longer unusual in this country. I&#8217;m not talking about racial bias, or affirmative action admissions, or racial preferences in hiring and promotions. Everyone knows that&#8217;s been going on. I&#8217;m talking about policies — in government, universities, and school systems — that overtly ban white people from participating.
This is a real problem. It&#8217;s not just happening at the mayor&#8217;s holiday party in Boston. Racial segregation has made a comeback in this country in a big way. You just don’t hear very much about it.

Right now, for example, a school district in Illinois is <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/12/04/news/illinois-schools-segregated-classes-blasted-as-unconstitutional/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">segregating</a> its English and math classes by race. At Evanston Township High School, black and Latino students go into one classroom when it&#8217;s time to learn English, calculus, and algebra. Whites and Asians go into a different room. This is the kind of program that legal experts say is clearly unconstitutional. If anyone sued, it would be struck down immediately. But people aren&#8217;t interested in suing, at least not yet. So the program will continue. They even have a name for this whole system of racial discrimination. The school board calls it &#8220;AXLE&#8221; — for &#8220;Advancing Excellence, Lifting Everyone.&#8221;
As shocking as this sounds, it&#8217;s nothing new for Chicago. A couple of years ago, Chicago&#8217;s mayor at the time, Lori Lightfoot, announced that for one day, she wouldn&#8217;t talk to white reporters. She just straight-up said that she didn&#8217;t want to deal with them. Again, there was mostly a collective shrug from reporters in the city. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Mayor Lightfoot defends granting interviews to only Black and Brown journalists" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/WXsUUK2un9o?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Lightfoot never apologized for that. And why would she? She understands that in Chicago — the third biggest city in the United States — open anti-white race hate isn&#8217;t just tolerated, it&#8217;s popular.
Again there are many more examples. In the wake of George Floyd&#8217;s overdose, Rice University students <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/rice-university-black-house-statue-demolition-demands" target="_blank" rel="noopener">demanded</a> the construction of a literal &#8220;Black House&#8221; on campus, along with segregated housing. And last year, the New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/08/19/off-campus-uc-berkeley-housing-bans-white-people-from-common-areas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that an off-campus housing co-op at U.C. Berkeley had banned white people from the common areas. This is a five-story building called the &#8220;Person of Color Theme House.&#8221;
Here&#8217;s an excerpt from the house rules: 
<blockquote>Many POC moved here to be able to avoid white violence and presence, so respect their decision of avoidance if you bring white guests. &#8230; White guests are not allowed in common spaces.</blockquote>
In fact, some white guests weren&#8217;t allowed at all. As one student reported, &#8220;‘[I] was not allowed to let my dad enter the house because he’s white.&#8221;
If you&#8217;re wondering where Berkeley&#8217;s administration stood on all of this, the answer is that they support it. Anti-white hatred is endemic at the university. Three years ago, in the summer of George Floyd, a third-year student named Seth Smith was shot in the back of the head, execution-style, while he was out for a walk. Smith&#8217;s killer was a black career criminal who mocked Smith for being white when he was arrested.
How did Berkeley administrators respond to this incident? The chancellor released this statement: &#8220;Many of you may have had a close relationship with Seth and are feeling a sense of loss and disbelief. Others, like many of us, are experiencing stress, grief and anxiety related to the coronavirus pandemic and the recent murders of George Floyd, Riah Milton, and other Black Americans.&#8221;
In other words, sorry about the white kid who just got murdered. But isn&#8217;t the death of George Floyd — a felon with no connection whatsoever to Berkeley — also really upsetting? That&#8217;s what they said. Imagine being one of Seth Smith&#8217;s friends or family members and seeing that email. You&#8217;d understand the message immediately, which is that white people don&#8217;t matter.
This is a message that Berkeley has communicated a lot recently, in various ways. For example, the university recently held a blacks-only graduation ceremony. They&#8217;ve been doing this every year for a while now, but earlier this year one clip went viral. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="The University of California Berkeley proudly hosts a black only graduation ceremony" width="500" height="375" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RJVsUEEpBNg?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>
This is state-funded segregation. And there are many more examples of it, outside of the Bay Area. As of 2019, more than 75 universities in this country <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/red-alert-politics/more-than-75-colleges-host-blacks-only-graduation-ceremonies" target="_blank" rel="noopener">offer</a> black-only graduation ceremonies. The actual number by now is probably much higher. Harvard still hosts &#8220;affinity celebrations&#8221; for graduates, which are subdivided by skin color. White people, of course, are the only racial group that doesn&#8217;t get one.
What&#8217;s important to keep in mind is that none of these incidents were national scandals, although they obviously should have been. In many cases, the people being discriminated against don&#8217;t seem to mind that much. Those impacted by these policies could file lawsuits and, even in our court system, easily win them. A lot of this stuff just isn’t remotely legal. But nobody challenges it. Nobody sues. Nobody even objects, most of the time. And because of that ambivalence, &#8220;racial equity&#8221; is rapidly becoming what it was always going to become, which is the return of racial segregation.

Democratic Boston Mayor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/michelle-wu" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michelle Wu</a> is facing criticism after a member of her administration sent out an email invitation for a Christmas party that excluded white officials.
City Council relations director Denise DosSantos mistakenly sent out the email to all city council members inviting them to an “Electeds of Color Holiday Party.&#8221;
“On behalf of Mayor Michelle Wu, I cordially invite you and a guest to the Electeds of Color Holiday Party on Wednesday, December 13 at 5:30 p.m. at the Parkman House, 33 Beacon Street,” DosSantos <a href="https://www.boston25news.com/news/local/email-invite-electeds-color-holiday-party-mistakenly-sent-all-boston-city-councilors/LRQRP3WGFNHLZC5DLCB6PPNESY/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>. 
Fifteen minutes later, DosSantos sent out another email apologizing for sending the email to all council members, indicating that it wasn’t supposed to be sent to white members of the council. 
“I wanted to apologize for my previous email regarding the Holiday Party for tomorrow. I did send that to everyone by accident, I apologize if my email may have offended or came across as so,” DosSantos <a href="https://www.boston25news.com/news/local/email-invite-electeds-color-holiday-party-mistakenly-sent-all-boston-city-councilors/LRQRP3WGFNHLZC5DLCB6PPNESY/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>, according to Boston 25 News. “Sorry for any confusion this may have caused.”
Councilman Frank Baker, who is white, <a href="https://whdh.com/news/email-error-sparks-controversy-surrounding-electeds-of-color-holiday-party-in-boston/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> that the idea of a race-segregated party was divisive. 
“I do find it divisive, but what are you going to do about it,” he said. “You don’t want me at a party, I’m not going to come to a party.”
Wu <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12862493/michelle-wu-electeds-color-boston-holiday-party.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">defended</a> the party, which has reportedly been going on for years, saying that there were all kinds of events designed for different groups of people. 
“I can understand someone might be confused or worried if certain people weren’t being invited at all or were being left out of any type of celebration. But I assure you, everyone on the Boston City Council has got an invitation to multiple types of events and holiday parties,” Wu said.

Wu has been accused of racial discrimination in the past over her comments and her administration&#8217;s policies. Earlier this year, Wu <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/boston-democrat-mayor-sued-for-allegedly-discriminating-against-white-restaurant-owners" target="_blank" rel="noopener">was sued</a> by a group of white restaurant owners who say they were targeted for city fees in part due to their ethnic heritage.
According to the restaurant owners, Wu and the city singled them out for a $7,500 outdoor dining fee, a fee which <a href="https://www.boston.com/news/local-news/2023/03/08/north-end-restaurant-owners-claim-discriminated-lawsuit/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">only applied</a> to establishments in their neighborhood. The lawsuit <a href="https://www.bostonherald.com/2023/06/02/north-end-restaurant-owners-drop-lawsuit-against-boston-mayor/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">was later</a> withdrawn after a series of legal setbacks for the restaurant owners. 
Wu was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/boston-mayor-michelle-wu-blasted-for-white-jokes-at-st-patricks-day-breakfast" target="_blank" rel="noopener">also criticized</a> for a joke about being “used to dealing with problems that are expensive, disruptive, and white.”

Democrat presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. pushed back on Sunday after facing backlash for remarks he made at a press event last week claiming COVID was &#8220;ethnically targeted&#8221; not to have as bad of an impact on Jewish and Chinese populations as it did on white and black people.
The New York Post&#8217;s Jon Levine <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/07/15/rfk-jr-says-covid-was-ethnically-targeted-to-spare-jews/">reported</a> that Kennedy made the remark at Tony’s Di Napoli, an Italian restaurant in New York City.
“COVID-19, there is an argument that it is ethnically targeted. COVID-19 attacks certain races disproportionately,” Kennedy claimed. “COVID-19 is targeted to attack Caucasians and black people. The people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese.”
“We don’t know whether it was deliberately targeted or not but there are papers out there that show the racial or ethnic differential and impact.”
Kennedy said that communist China was collecting DNA from nations around the world so they could &#8220;target people by race.&#8221;
Kennedy, who has long been accused of spouting conspiracy theories, was slammed online over his comments.
The New York Post highlighted the response of Dr. Monica Gandhi, professor of medicine and infectious disease at the University of California, and fierce critic of school closures during the pandemic, to Kennedy&#8217;s remarks.
“No, no, no, no, no,” she said. “I don’t see any evidence that there was any design or bioterrorism that anyone tried to design something to knock off certain groups.”
Kennedy insisted the event was supposed to be &#8220;OFF-THE-RECORD,&#8221; yet Levine said that organizer Doug Dechert told the publication that the event was on the record. Another attendee also confirmed the comments were on the record.

Kennedy attacked Levine on Twitter for writing the story and for asking him to respond to critics &#8220;who might think saying coronavirus was a bioweapon made to kill white and black but spare Jews — might be antisemitic.&#8221;
&#8220;Of course, saying that would be anti-Semitic. But I didn’t say that. Levine is fabricating an opinion, attributing it to me, and trolling for scandal,&#8221; Kennedy said.
Numerous major public figures across the political spectrum slammed Kennedy for his remarks and said that they believed the comments were either deranged or anti-Semitic.

This fact pattern immediately sent the salivary glands of the media and the Biden administration into overdrive. Drooling with excitement, the media headlined the Yarl shooting for days; President Biden himself immediately invited Yarl, who survived, to the White House.
The reason for the journalistic and political feeding frenzy is clear: for the political Left, the narrative of white supremacy must be maintained. What’s more, shocking examples of that narrative must be found. Yarl’s shooting fit the bill. Americans are supposed to believe, as Yarl’s attorney put it, that “blackness is under attack.”
This is a lie. Not only is it a lie, it is a blatantly idiotic and devastatingly counterproductive lie. That lie provides the impetus toward undercutting police presence in high-crime areas; it provides the basis for racially discriminatory governmental policies; it provides the foundation for the argument that all disparities between the races are the result of white discrimination.
The truth is far more troubling: in America, while most violent crime is intra-racial (white on white or black on black, for example), in cases in which blacks and whites have violent interaction, blacks are overwhelmingly the perpetrators, not the victims.
In 2019, for example, 3,299 white Americans were murdered; 566, or 17%, were killed by black perpetrators. That same year, 2,906 black Americans were murdered; 246, or 8%, were killed by white perpetrators. Adjusted for population size – there are far more whites in America (235 million) than blacks (47 million) – this means that approximately one out of every million white Americans killed a black person in 2019, while 12 out of every million black Americans killed a white person. Such numbers are reflective of a norm: every year from 2001 on, the number of black-on-white killings has approximately doubled the number of white-on-black killings. When it comes to violent crime generally, the same sad truth applies. In 2019, there were 562,550 reported violent black/white incidents. 472,570 were black on white – 84%.
The media routinely ignore these facts, since they don’t fit the narrative. In fact, the media have a general tendency not to even mention the race of perpetrators of crimes if those perpetrators are black. The people harmed most by this narrative failure are not white Americans, but black Americans, who are predominantly the victims of black crime. According to the Department of Justice, “In 2018, based on data from the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, black people were overrepresented among persons arrested for nonfatal violent crimes (33%) and for serious nonfatal violent crimes (36%) relative to their representation in the U.S. population (13%).” The vast majority of victims were black.
Understanding the facts about interracial crime presents different solutions than the lies we hear about the prevalence of white-on-black violence. Those solutions include encouraging fatherhood in the home. Only 37% of black children are living in a home with their biological parents, 72% of black fathers aren’t married to the mother of their children, and only 4.2% of black children grow up in areas with a poverty rate below 10% and over half of black fathers present in the community.
But such discussions never take place if we focus on a lie: the lie that black victims are disproportionately the victim of white evils. Those who promulgate that lie victimize all Americans, black and white.

Violent Crime

A new <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2023/04/06/gun-deaths-among-us-kids-rose-50-percent-in-two-years/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study</a> conducted by the highly-respected Pew Research Foundation found that black children were five times more likely than white children to die from gunfire in 2021.
Among black children and teens, 11.8 gun deaths per 100,000 occurred in 2021, compared with 2.3 gun deaths per 100,000 in white children and teens. Among Hispanic children and teens, the death rate was also 2.3 deaths per 100,000; among Asian children and teens, the rate was 0.9 per 100,000. Pew’s data was culled from annual mortality statistics provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
“In 2021, 46% of all gun deaths among children and teens involved Black victims, even though only 14% of the U.S. under-18 population that year was Black,” Pew pointed out. “Homicide was the largest single category of gun deaths among children and teens in 2021, accounting for 60% of the total that year. It was followed by suicide at 32% and accidents at 5%.”
Of the gun deaths among black children and teens, 84% were homicides, while 9% were suicides. The situation was reversed among white children and teens; 66% were suicides, and only 24% were homicides.
42% of Hispanic parents and 32% of black parents were extremely or very worried about their children getting shot; 23% of Asian parents agreed, while 12% of white parents echoed that sentiment.
35% of parents in self-described urban communities were extremely or very worried about their children being shot; only 17% of suburban parents and 19% of rural parents agreed.
“In 2022, one in every 67 Black men ages 18 to 24 in Philadelphia were killed or injured in gun homicides or shootings,” the Giffords Law Center <a href="https://giffords.org/lawcenter/memo/gun-violence-in-black-communities/">admitted</a>. “In Rochester, New York, it was one in 50 young Black men. In Cincinnati, it was one in 44 young Black men.”
A study published in the <a href="https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2799021?utm_source=For_The_Media&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=ftm_links&amp;utm_term=112922" data-testid="prism-linkbase">Journal of the American Medical Association</a> found that among firearm-related deaths between 1990 and 2021, firearm-related homicides were greatest among black men between the ages of 20 and 40.

“There are these hotspots where firearm fatalities are happening more frequently, and interventions need to be catered to where those are happening,” one of the authors of the study <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Health/firearm-deaths-black-men-28-year-high-doctors/story?id=94160109">noted.</a> “We&#8217;re seeing huge rates of firearm-related homicides among young black and African American males — that&#8217;s the population where we may need to think about implementing violence prevention strategies.”
