Combine poor coping skills with social media, role models who promote a violent lifestyle, and lack of a supportive family unit all contribute to this behavior.
It sounds like we are mostly in agreement. It appears that the only aspect upon which we continue to disagree is the racial component. Everything you say here holds true for all races - there are populations found in all of them that are burdened just as you describe.

So, with all of these factors being equal amongst certain populations of each and every race, how do you account for the disparity in violence? How do you explain the fact that blacks murder one another at a rate six times higher than anyone else? We have gotten this far in this discussion, I have asked you to account for this on a number of occasions, and you have completely ignored it.
