Black Children 5 Times More Likely to Be Murdered in California Than Whites

Despite making serious strides in education and politics, one disturbing fact within the African American community remains: Black children are living by the gun and dying by the gun at a highly disproportionate rate.

A new report by the Violence Policy Center finds that in the state of California, black males have a homicide rate more than 14 times that of whites and nearly four times that of Hispanics.

When young girls and women are included, African American children are nearly five times more likely to be killed than any other ethnic group in the state. BV Black Spin
