Sorry, but the Left does not care about the black on black gun deaths. Only the RARE mass shooting by white people. (Even though most of what are classified as "mass shootings" are black on black.)
Honestly, we have so many mass shootings and attempted mass shootings in this country that I think I have that "I feel desensitized but my heart goes out to the friends and families of the victims. However, how are going to practically address on how to lessen such tragic acts?"-type mindset.

As a spokes person for the left, why does the left not care about black on black gun deaths? Is the left quite highly racist?

Well, the media is controlled by the left, they don't mention them. The left politicians certainly don't mention them, only the rare ones by white people.
It seems that folks have created their own definition of mass shooting to support the narrative in their head.
Whatever -- you can't discuss an issue with people who change the goal posts so that they can support their emotional responses to an issue.
The majority of shootings in Chicago are gang related. They aren't what we traditionally think of as a 'mass shooter' -- you know that guy who shows up at a concert and randomly shoots at the audience. Not because it was a bad drug deal, not because they stole money from him.
If you lump the two gang memb ers shooting themselves as a Mass shooter than you are also addressing all those white men who kill their wives, kids and themselves in a murder suicide......
MEH -- that may skew your stats though right...can't have that.
So a murder suicide is not a mass shooting but a gang related shooting is.?
The more white men kill randomly, the more the right seems to want to identify all shootings as mass shootings so they can pull in other groups and skew their stats.
One of these incidents qualifies as a mass shooting of 4 or more victims.
5 were shot on a porch in the West Englewood neighborhood in the late afternoon by a drive-by shooter.
It’s more likely at least one of the victims and shooter were known to each other, either personally / personal disputes via social media or by a gang affiliation. It’s also possible one of the victims was perceived to be a Police informant.
Locals tend not to cooperate with Police because they are protecting family members or out of a legitimate fear of retaliation.
Most shootings in Chicago and other urban areas are one on one.
Chicago is in 9th place, yet receives more attention than say Kansas City. Why is this?
This link provides a stub of information about murder inequality in urban areas- the gun violence tends to be isolated, not city wide, anywhere.

Now that is some sick !@#$.
The government and gun control groups are the ones who lump the gang shooting into the mass shootings to inflate the numbers,.

I believe the FBI uses a definition of 4 or more shootings in a single incident to classify a mass shooting. I see that it classified the Midland- Odessa incident as as mobile mass shooting.
A few years back there was a mass shooting at a memorial service in Chicago. It received a lot of local media attention. Then the local alderman announced “ no innocents had been shot”.
The service was a street memorial for a slain gang member, flying gang colors. His gang posted a challenge on social media. And no surprise, a rival gang burst out of an alley, guns blazing.
Then there was the incident of a 14 year old girl who walked up and opened fire on people sitting on a porch. Another girl said some nasty things about her on social media. Her uncle, a gang member, recently released from prison, gave her a hand gun so she could take revenge and she did.
Another gem was prompted by social media nonsense, one woman to another. It escalated. Both women brought their female friends, hand guns and box cutters to the street fight. Most of the women were in their 30’s and also brought their kids along to show them how to deal with people who disrespect them.
So they go at each other with box cutters and gun fire erupted in the middle of the street in the middle of the day. One woman jumped into her car and rammed another into a tree. For good measure, she backed up and accelerated into the woman again. Then she abandoned the car and took off on foot.
Despite all these women knew each other and the driver, no one knew anything.
These incidents typically involve a very small percentage of the populations that live in these gang infested neighborhoods. Most of Chicago’s loss of population is attributed to people fleeing this culture in these communities.
