12. Missouri
Who can forget the ugliest scene Ferguson, Missouri inducing the death of Michael Brown? An unpleasant scene that any black parent wouldn’t want to happen to their child. Aside from the high violence rate due to hate crimes, Missouri is also one of the states in the US with the highest black mortality rates. According to CDC, the state tops with a 941.92 death rate out of 100,000 population. And same with the other previous states, heart disease is the top cause of death in Missouri.
