Racism has a ton of bad effects on blacks, it isnt limited to outright murder. Even if there were only 9 unarmed black men killed by the police in 2019, there were still thousands who were beaten up or otherwise subjected to humiliating, denigrating behavior.
On top of that, the marginalization, the bad economic situation and the general lack of opportunity in black communities are the most important among several explanatory factors for the high levels of black-on-black crime. I certainly dont buy into the narrative from the liberal side that racism and discrimination are the only reason why black communities are fucked up, but at the same time, it's impossible for me to deny that these things contribute massively to their blight. And that's coming from me, someone who's as conservative on racial issues as it possibly gets without crossing the "racism event horizon".
You can trace the other reasons back to the discrimination and segregation. Nobody is saying that absent of the poor treatment they would be a shining city on the hill, but when you literally have a history where black parts of town were burned down in response to that part of town gaining more wealth than the white parts what do you expect? Culture doesn't arise fully formed from nothing, it's a response to the conditions of a people.
