Not sure what this actually means. The idea of black on black violence stems from racial superiority, empire, and fear. To label any crime as a race is an extremely slippery slope.

Without repeating myself continuously on this matter, there is more of a correlation between being expelled from school and ending up in prison. What about mixed race? Who do they come under, and is a black person twice as likely as someone who is half white to commit violence on another black person?

It's all socioeconomic. There were gangs of white people committing the same violence on other white gangs for centuries.
