As a Black pastor, I find it frustrating that for the past sixty years, Black America has avoided addressing the issue of black-on-black violence, which is the leading cause of death among Black men aged 1-44 in the country.
There's a misleading claim that black-on-black violence is comparable to white-on-white or violence among other racial groups. However, although Black Americans make up only 13% of the population, they have consistently represented over 50% of homicide victims in the U.S. for six decades.
While I support efforts against racism, injustice, and inequality faced by Black Americans, we must also recognize the self-inflicted harm caused by black-on-black violence that disproportionately impacts our community. It's time to stop deflecting and confront this urban violence epidemic that claims Black male lives at an alarming rate, destroying families and communities.
