   A black Michigan resident is seven times more likely than the   
   average American to become a homicide victim.   
      
   An anti-violence advocacy group says black Michigan residents   
   are slain at one of the highest rates in the nation.   
      
   The Washington-based Violence Policy Center said Thursday that   
   31.5 of every 100,000 African Americans in Michigan were   
   homicide victims in 2011. That trails only Nebraska at 34.4 and   
   Missouri at 33.4 per 100,000.   
      
   Michigan’s black homicide victimization rate is nearly twice the   
   national rate for blacks of 17.5 per 100,000. The rate for all   
   Americans is 4.4 per 100,000.   
      
   The group says it determined the death cause for 428 of   
   Michigan’s 447 victims, and 362 were shot.   
      
   Center Executive Director Josh Sugarmann calls gun violence a   
   “public health crisis.”   
      
   No Josh, we have a nigger crisis.  That's why so many are being   
   shot.
