Here are the actually 2016 numbers for anyone interested in facts.
FBI statistics on crime in America.
Whites 4,182 murders
Blacks 4,935 murders
Account for population and it's clear there is a disparity between reality and what we are told by those in charge. A biggest threat to a black man is another black man.
NOT the police...

Where is the supporting data that 1.92% of 336M people commit a mass shooting crime? This is saying 6 million people commit mass shootings and uh...that is wholly inaccurate. It's more around the 5,000 mark. Not 6 million.
On average gun deaths in America ranks 15th in causes of deaths each year. If the left would stop being brainless sheep and media lap dogs they would realize the more dangerous weapon a person holds in their hands is the fat laden food they put in their mouth each day which is what contributes to the #1 cause of death in the US year over year.
Heart disease.

What you don't realize with the "white" murders is that they also include "Hispanics" into this group, while Hispanics/Latino's (non-white) would not include themselves into the classification of whites anywhere else. I did a thread on this specific issue which shows that the FBI stats are wildly disproportionate because of this issue and it makes the amount of murders committed by whites about 2x higher than they really are, which in turn makes the huge disparity between the murders by blacks compared to whites even more disproportionate.

You'll find that illegal aliens commit 43% of all crimes in America too. It's stunning.

Congratulations on your fixation.
What is your solution?
Be honest.

That could be a start. Not a good idea to stigmatize "irregular" families though.
Sometimes families are broken by the judicial system as well. It plays favorites.
One guy gets a slap on the wrist, another gets 5 to 10. These days there are decent odds that it's to put butts in privatized prisons.
I'm hoping the OP chimes in with solutions too.

The information in the thread pretty much matches what I found when I researched the subject a few years back. There are some pretty bad gangs in the cities.

So when we say "mass shootings" , we talking about gang violence or just strolling into a movie theater or school and killing a bunch of random people just because "I had a bad day"?
Edit: oh wait, just read. This is another "poor us white people " thread.

I'm not convinced the parent issue is the root cause and not just one of several problems of which it is sometimes a cause of and sometimes the symptom of. There's a whole bunch of issues at work here and I'm not convinced dad staying home with the first woman he got pregnant will fix the situation. It's a lot bigger and more complicated than that.

I've pointed out these facts on numerous threads, in particular ones regarding gun control.
I've stated before that America doesnt have a gun control problem, we have a fatherless black Male problem if you actually look at the data.
I'm a black Male. Anyone who is honest and logical know this data to be true. The problem is our liberal society doesnt actually want to solve the problem so they choose to ignore the facts.

Ok then chicken and the egg question. The black community didn't start with the fatherless problem so it's clearly not what caused things to get this way. It might help keep the problem going but it didn't and thus isn't the cause.
So the big question is, what created this problem in the first place? It was neither slavery or Jim Crow laws as there were full black families that stuck together after slavery and during Jim Crow. I could be wrong but historically speaking the fatherless issue is more recent than all that.
What got the ball rolling. The black community didn't just wake up fatherless one day.

So again why are people against abortion?

I agree. Black immigrants have done much better, e.g., Nigerian-Americans may be the most highly educated ethnic group in the nation.
