You are worse at grammar than I am. The sentence you corrected did not need a comma. It also could have been done with a few other punctuation marks as well. You are missing the point of why I corrected you. You tried to manipulate the numbers and it failed.

What exactly am I manipulating? That most black homicide homicide victims are killed by blacks, not white people wearing silicone masks and gloves?
Hey I'll step out on a limb and manipulate some more statistics. My point was that Democratic politicians were in large part responsible for the comparatively high homicide rate among blacks in Chicago. Here's a list of the cities in the USA with the highest homicide rates and the party affiliation of their mayors.
1. East St. Louis, Illinois, 101 murders/100,000 people - Democrat
2. Chester, Pennsylvania - 67/100,000 - Democrat
3. Gary, Indiana - 60/100,000 - Democrat
4. St. Louis, Missouri - 60/100,000 - Democrat
5. Baltimore, Maryland - 51/100,000 - Democrat
6. Flint, Michigan - 46/100,000 - Democrat
7. Detroit, Michigan - 45/100,000 - Democrat
8. New Orleans, Louisiana - 44/100,000 - Democrat
9. Salisbury, North Carolina - 41/100,000 - Democrat
10. Danville, Virginia - 38/100,000 - Democrat
United States of America as a whole - 4.5 murders/100,000 people
In a couple of instances I didn't verify the city has primaries, but did determine the current mayor identifies as a Democrat.
