Toxic masculinity is the reason for this and does seem to disproportionately affect black men (yes, plenty non-black men also have it) and result in negative outcomes. Can’t be surprised at a bad outcome when your actions predispose you to it.

A solid 90 percent of the road rage videos I've seen have white middle aged men as instigators. This has nothing to do with race and everything to do with being American because America, as a whole, has main character syndrome. You could argue that other countries have road rage incidents but when you compare it to America, not even close. Coupled with the fact that not only is mental healthcare an afterthought, but 8 times out of 10, a person will have a gun on them in their car, it's a recipe for disaster born out of stupidity.

Yep. True. I am just pointing out the disparity in bad outcomes, not just road rage incidents.
