High intraracial homicide among Black males constitutes slow-moving collective self-debilitation.
Evidence
Furthermore, since homicide is overwhelmingly intraracial in nature (Rennison, 2001), this relatively high intraracial homicide rate, albeit no doubt driven by an array of structural factors (e.g., family structure, high unemployment rate, inadequate educational background, etc.), can be regarded as a form of slow-moving collective suicide, and a means by which young, Black males contribute to their own debilitation and subordination. — Joseph Avery, Jim Sidanius, Joel Cooper, Gregory Davis, Amanda N., Bias in the Law, 109
