Trauma caused by black on black.

Only in the most obvious of cases, like homicide rates.
Guess what? These problems aren't driven by homicides. These problems aren't being driven by being jumped once or twice. These problems are being driven by a lifetime of day-in, day-out systemic biases and prejudices.
These problems are driven by food deserts, overcrowded schools, discriminatory policing and biased courts, crumbling infrastructure, polluted water, processed food, a lack of quality jobs, a lack of access to healthcare and higher education.
These problems are driven by living in communities where BIPOC don't own anything; where most businesses are owned by corporations or outsiders looking to exploit people that have been deprived of the resources necessary to defend themselves against injustice.
These problems are driven by the accumulated weight of 200+ years of these injustices piling up on the shoulders of BIPOC.
You don't get to dismiss that mountain of trauma because a few thousand frustrated people (out of millions) resort to fighting each other in their struggle to get out from under it.
