In order to think critically, one has to be intellectually honest.
I showed you statistics that you couldn't refute. Can you refute anything I've said about Bowie and Missouri City. In order to be intellectually honest, you have to ask yourself this: Why are those predominantly Black areas nice and safe? Why is North Philly not safe?
In order to think critically, you have to consider ALL factors. Trying to hint at "Blacks are just violent people" is intellectually dishonest, and it doesn't take into consideration other factors. I never refuted that the areas that were experiencing high murder rates were majority Black areas. That is not what I was trying to refute. However, in order to think critically, you have to ask WHY? Why are so many predominantly Black areas having high murder rates? Why are many Black men in those areas murdering one another? What are the circumstances behind it? You see, thinking critically means asking more questions and thinking about many other things.
In areas in which there are strict gun control laws, yet!
A large percentage of guns used in crimes in NYC (90%) come from outside, places with lax gun laws like PA, GA, not really a surprise. There are no border checks on the bridges in tunnels, why is that a surprise. Too many states with complicit in allowing gun trafficking.

Why would I refute that there are a few predominantly black areas that do NOT have high violent crime rates?
I know why MY neighborhood is safe and has absolutely zero violent crime....it's full of hard working people who care about where they live and pay for everything we have. Perhaps that's the case in the two areas that you mentioned?

So why don't the areas where the guns come from violent?
Many of those states, SC, GA, NC have a higher gun murder rate than NY,
