Exactly the intention of those applying the term.

Black males accounted for 66% of all firearm homicides over the last
decade. Black males aged 15-19 are 40 times more likely to be murdered
by firearm than white males of the same age. The disparity in risk
decreases slightly with age, as black males aged 20-24 were 35 times
more likely to suffer this fate than white males of the same age,
while those aged 25-34 were 23 times more likely than their white
counterparts to be murdered with a firearm.

I'll say it again -- this is not the segment of the population being
mentored on ranges, in hunter education classes, or in target
competitions.
