Okay but so would the rates for every other race if you did the same thing for them.
Sure, but it would probably count for a lot less of the overall numbers for other groups than it would with blacks.
I still don't follow why murders related to drugs and gangs shouldn't count in stats like this, unless that's not your argument and I'm misunderstanding.
Sure, it should count, but I'd also discount it somewhat, because it is the the type of crime that usually won't affect normal folks. If drug dealer x kills drug dealer y, it shouldn't really bother anyone, it's the cost of doing business in those circles. Likewise, suicides, and domestics are going to happen regardless of firearms avaliablity.
I guess the thrust of my thought is that when looking at these statics, you should just narrow it down to the types of gun violence that might have a reasonable chance to affect you. If you look at it that way, your average American (of all colors) has little to fear.
