This is pretty clear

For reference the population of Chicago is:
White: 1,212,835 (45.0%);
Black: 887,608 (32.9%);
American Indian and Alaska Native: 10,290 (0.5%);
Asian: 147,164 (5.5%);
Other race: 360,493 (13.4%);
Two or more races: 73,148 (2.7%);
Hispanic/Latino: 778,862 (28.9%)
I don't think backs are shooting blacks because of over
policing.... Cops follow the violence, not the other way around.
I'm glad you posted this, now I can give you a history lesson on Chicago.
Eastern Europe immigrants were the original working class of Chicago when it was booming with industrialization. The kids of these people often dropped out of school early on and they continued to do so even as the industrial boom weakened in the late 19th-early 20th century.
Gangs formed often through ethnic and neighborhood lines and Chicago actually built one of the first, if not the first Juvenile facility in The USA. Point is, the city has always had a problem with young men breaking the law due to economic circumstances. At these times crimes were usually stealing, robbery, fighting.
Now in the early 20th century, slavery ended and in come The African Americans from the south. They become the new low class and they are segregated into pooorer neighbourhoods and were kept out by gangs of European descent. Economic segregation as well.
Then Torrio (if I spelt it right) and his famous successor Al Capone rise up due to prohibition and this leads to major corruption among the police and city officials. Those who were troubled kids of Eastern European parents were able to integrate into the working class which was slightly above their black counterparts and since the city was under Al Capone's thumb, guess who felt the brunt of the police.
Fast forward to the 80's and the crack era. The young African American men had a way to make a lot of money fast and this also brought guns to their poor segregated areas. What were they to do when they had no job prospects and there was a gold mine sitting in front of them.
Point is, African Americans have still not been able to arise from their conditions. They came poor and it's stayed with them through generations. Racial hierarchies have not been kind to black people, as they are still more likely to live in poverty. Crumbling education systems, expensive health care, drug prohibition, over policing rather than preventative measures have them trapped.
There was a new study released that immigrant blacks in The USA are doing way better economically than those who are descendants of slaves that landed in North America. Therefore having the means to remove yourself from a bad situation is a great start.
Also gun violence is not the only crime, it is not as damaging as white collar crimes are to society as a whole.
My point is that focusing on sensationalism is nothing but entertainment. The stats you posted don't show whose living in bad neighborhoods.
