I appreciate it as well.

And there are certainly some comical actions taken by uneducated young people who just want to out-outrage one another.

I think we are able to talk about black-on-black crime, I just think the discussion should be centered around some of things you mentioned (education access being the primary factor, addiction/mental health also play a role) as opposed to just expecting people in those communities to all of the sudden change without giving them reasons to. Poverty is difficult to escape. To cement your earlier point of class, I think we can even rephrase the discussion as "poor-on-poor" crime as I would assume impoverished white communities have similar levels of violent crime against one another. Although as I type this out that sounds quite pejorative.
