Ironically, could it be black culture that causes it?

You have all sorts of terrorist groups like BLM that are telling, instructing, pleading all black people to commit crimes. That's definitely not anecdotal.

BLM is a terrorist group? I didn't realize they were put on a list by the southern poverty law center or the American department of homeland security. Can I have a link? Extremely interested.
Oh, it's not a classified a terrorist group by the government because of the mindset/culture that promotes black-favourability.
So how do we know if it's a terrorist group if there isn't an organization that recognizes them as a terrorist group? Not even organizations that specialize in discerning terrorist behavior can discern their actions as terrorism, so what metric do we use? Is there evidence that certain social movements are given more leeway to terrorism than others, and if there isn't due to inability to study this subject for black-favorability culture, how does one objectively determine whether or not a black favorability culture exists to the point where terrorism occurs?
And where do you think culture comes from? 5-whys. Keep going.
Natural human behavior to seek revenge/justice for past events, regardless if it makes your "side" net worse off.
My eyes were opened to this when I was able to have an honest and open conversation with an African-American friend (I'm not American and never understood the history), and he described the level of victimisation that is passed on from generation to generation after traumatic events that span multiple generations. There is a deep wound in American history that is unique to the African-American experience.

Museums like this try to capture some of it. But really, America should be looking to Truth and Reconciliation commission type of platforms that has worked in other places. Finish what was started in the Reconstruction-era, or continue to suffer from this wound.

Well, you don't get to define what's "worse-off" for another culture. And should that give us pause about current policies that may cause the same behaviour later on?
