Banning /r/Coontown[2] will not change that fact.
Indirectly? It possibly could. It could change the outlook and atmosphere of black people who feel their communities are marginalised. Delinquency is often attributed to a lack of ties. Be it to family, work, society, anything. Relationships keep people, particularly young adult males, out of trouble. Sending out the message that we, as a society, care about how black people feel, might cause some kids -kids who might not otherwise- feel more connected on the society level, stay out of trouble, and lower that figure.
