If you were a black American you'd be scared too....facts don't lie!!

First we need to recognize the disproportionate number of unarmed black Americans being killed every year in America compared to white/other ethnicities. For this comparison we'll use the hard left leaning Politifacts data for 2019. Politifacts reports that 28 unarmed black people were killed in 2019 and 51 white people. What this data proves and I think we can all agree.....it's open season on black Americans...who can deny what's going on in this country? Do y'all realize there's only around 35-40 million black Americans and in 2019 law enforcement killed 28 unarmed black Americans?
If you were black would you feel safe leaving your house to go to work? Putting gas in your car? Shopping for groceries? Or being involved in any sort of criminal activities knowing law enforcement has the green light to shoot you down for no good reason other than your skin tone?
Let's calculate the statistical probability of getting your arse shot by police on any given day if you're skin tone is a few shades too dark......let's see....there's approximately 35,000,000 black Americans and according to Politifacts 28 were allegedly killed by law enforcement, I say allegedly because I've also seen that 28 number reported as low as 13, but frick it we'll use Politifacts number. So dividing 35 million into 28 yields a 0.0000008 chance you're checking into the morgue on any given day at the hands of law enforcement if you're a black American. To put this in perspective, typically 50-75 people die in the US every year from lightning strikes.

But how many blacks are killed by lightning vs whites? Lightning might be racist as well!

Read the narratives of all of these killings of “unarmed people” and your case would be strengthened even more. There may be a handful - less than 5 - of shootings that were in a gray area or blatantly wrong.

If I'm a black man in this country, I am exponentially more scared of other black men than I am of LEOs.

Why do you think I'm using their exaggerated BS? Because even with their bogus data we can see that law enforcement isn't the biggest concern for your well being if you're a black American.

The biggest fear for black people right now is what the current "movement" is doing to race relations. If it was hard to get a job and a fair shake before, now its 10 times worse.
Nobody wants disruption in their workplace. Its going to get harder.
And the reason is not color. It is the way things are always handled.

Then blacks in this country have to do two things:
1) Stop having 75% of their babies out of wedlock.
2) Tell white liberals to frick off.
Do those two things, and you'd see the overall black condition in the US increase dramatically in one generation.

I see the crap that police are slaughtering Black people everyday on facebook.. I always respond with..."The police are the least of your worries..It is the Black people in your own community".. I get the usual "You are a racist".. I even got one "You are a racist ofay" I had to look up what "ofay" meant.. noun Slang: Extremely Disparaging and Offensive. A contemptuous term used to refer to a white person.

OP, you data is so flawed. If you add in the number of blacks killed by police and then dumped in the river or ocean you will see that the chance of a black person being killed by the cops approaches 50% chance on any given day.

But how many of them are from white lightning?

You cant use total population numbers of demographics.
Comparing white population to just black population one would have to assume every black person had an interaction with a police officer and every white person had an interaction with a police officer in a given year.
But if we really want to use those stats, then look at the rate black men commit violent crimes, and the rate white men commit violent crimes and whites are still more likely to get shot by a cop.

Those odds are on par with winning national lotteries. It’s ridiculous.

WRONG! Not when you compare contact occurrences. For their population, blacks commit more violent crimes than whites, and it is not even close. There seems to be more trying to run away as well. If all whites were confined to their homes, would you still count them in a population #, or by occurrences?
