So is there systmetic racism causing higher incidence interaction? Is it due to poverty? Is that poverty also caused by systmetic racism? What can be done by that?
These are difficult and nuanced issues so I expect it won't be discussed in general public discourse.

Its probably all this. It's not just about being killed, blacks get harassed just by being black. The black cyclist example above. Its harassment, intimidation, threats, beatings. So there is no white interaction unless serious so ratio of deaths is higher.
And yeah it can be due to poverty and broken homes.
