Why is there so much black on black crime?

The reason there is so much crime within the black community is complex, and there is no single answer. Generational poverty, inequality in education and other systemic factors contribute to this issue. Other contributors include mental health issues, limited economic opportunity, lack of access to social networks that support positive behavior and low levels of citizenship within communities.  Ultimately it comes down to a lack of connection between individuals within the community and the lack of collective responsibility for each other's successes and failures.

Why is there so much black on black crime?
user
In the United States, research suggests that there is more black on black crime than other types of crimes due to a number of factors including historical legacies of racism and oppression, unequal distribution of wealth and resources within certain urban communities, and a lack of education or job opportunities. These issues often lead to greater levels of poverty in these areas where access to positive outlets may be limited. Further, police reform initiatives are needed to ensure fairer enforcement in minority communities.
