Not meant to be a racist statement but I'm sure someone will construe this as such: black folks are responsible for more mass shootings in the US than any other racial group.

I believe black Americans are 15% of the population or so. Do they account for 15% of mass shootings? I'm not saying you're wrong, but I would be surprised.
Crime statistics by race won't be much of a topic anymore. More and more black Americans and bi-racial people of all flavors are changing how they identify.
