The CDC uses the correct term, “firearm-related deaths” but the Washington Posts needs an explosive headline for their caption.

Forget smart guns, let’s create a racist gun that only fires when a white person holds it and aims it at another white person. Would that satisfy the PC police?
I’m kidding of course, but the Washington Post is not:
In Washington D.C., for instance, the death rate associated with firearms is more than thirteen and a half times for African Americans what it is for whites.
No state has as wide a gap as New Jersey, where black people are four and a half times as likely to die from gun violence than whites. In Illinois, the state with the second largest divide, African Americans are roughly four and a quarter times as likely; in Massachusetts, the third most divided, black people are just over four times as likely; and in Michigan, the fourth most divided, black people are just under four times as likely.
And what are we supposed to do about it? Pass more laws that the gangs ignore? Blacks are saying yes to that:
Even sentiments about gun control are, in at least some ways, split along racial lines. A Washington Post-ABC News poll from last year found that more than three quarters of African Americans support stronger gun control, compared to fewer than half of whites.
So 3/4 of blacks support being slaves? Because that’s what gun control is, folks, a new relationship between the Master State and the Subject Citizen. If you’re black and you’re afraid of gun violence, the solution is to get yourself your own gun so you can have a fighting chance. If you can’t get your own gun, get a better job and move to a better neighborhood, perhaps a State that respects the 2nd Amendment .
Another thing that works is putting people who shoot innocent people in jail, but we’re told that’s racist, then we get articles bitching about too many blacks in prison.
The problem is how the liberal mind vs. the conservative mind, let’s compare:
Conservative:
A. Blacks kill blacks
B. Good citizens get guns
C. Bad guys go to jail
D. Blacks can’t kill blacks (outside of jail)
Liberal:
A. Blacks kill blacks
B. Blame whites
C. Ban whites from having guns
D. Blacks continue to kill blacks
