[Gateway] A group of researchers at Tulane University have conducted a study that claims structural racism plays a part in mass shootings.
Researchers from Tulane studied 51 metropolitan areas across the United States and concluded communities with higher black populations have more mass shooting than communities with a higher white population.
The study notes that structural racism may play a part in mass shootings and defined structural racism as "the normalized and legitimized range of policies, practices, and attitudes that routinely produce cumulative and chronic adverse outcomes for people of color."
The study further shares that Chicago led all cities in mass shootings with 141 mass shootings, which led to 97 deaths. |
