.Simon, thank you very much for taking the time to read Steinlight’s lengthy essay, for your thoughtful reply, and for offering additional survey info from Pew & Nature.
Before giving up on the idea that there are any political (voting) solutions to prevent the death of White Western culture, and people within modern America, I’d been studying up on Jewish behavior as a group. Jews, whether or not they temporarily adopt a “White” identity, for convenience in a majority-Christian culture, behave like non-Whites, not Whites. I am not so concerned with how others self-identify (i.e. a biological male who believes he’s been born into the “wrong” body) but with what actions/behaviors they take. When it comes to voting, as a group, White American gentiles are the ONLY group in America, in which the majority (currently ~60%) votes to protect free speech and to preserve our gun freedoms. Every other minority group, including Jews, vote ~70+% in favor of increasing “hate speech” (aka free, Constitutionally-protected, speech) penalties and increasing gun control. They may SAY they identify as “White” due to lighter-colored eyes, hair, skin than typical non-Europeans, but when outside the Jewish ethnostate of Israel, their priorities are to vote against, + actively destroy, what traditional founding stock heritage Americans, cherish the most.
I get where you’re coming from. Nevertheless I encourage you to look into the Kerner Commission created in the aftermath of the long hot summer. It found that the cause of high levels of crime in majority black areas were systemic. People always have autonomy, and are more than their circumstances. But to pretend that circumstances have no impact is to deny reality.
The mass shootings that make national news make it BECAUSE they are so unusual. That is to say that the fact that black on black crime is high for the fifteenth year in a row, and the 30,000 Americans that killed themselves with a gun last year, it’s registered as a background tragedy. Something that is environmental instead of a particular crisis.
This isn’t a considered position. I am sure that if you asked a progressive of black on black gun crime was a crisis they would say yes- but the movement doesn’t treat it that way.
I do disagree with the idea that people only care about death when it benefits them. They care about death when it feels like it could affect them. For the black leaders you mention- I don’t know where any of them live- but I doubt it’s in majority black areas where a certain high baseline of dysfunction would put them at risk. They are still victimised by targeted killings and assaults by racists.
Your point through - reinforces mine. Society writ large can only ignore predominantly black on black crime because of continued segregation. Black on black crime is the product of lack of opportunity, high unemployment, organised crime and more that cannot persist if people of all colours and social strata had to live more closely with one another. If some more white progressives lived in the south side of Chicago more intense action would likely be taken.

We need a moratorium on all immigration to the U.S.
"I will then argue why diversity is our strength." ???
Here's 100+ studies showing you are dead wrong in your belief that diversity is a strength:
