Jesus fucking Christ. NOBODY IS SAYING THIS DOESN'T ALSO HAPPEN TO WHITE PEOPLE. It's bad no matter who it happens to, it just so happens to be that it happens far more often (When balanced against the population numbers of black, white, and hispanic) to black people.
according to the US Census:
White people in US: 76.3%
Black people in US: 13.4%
Of course there will be more white people killed by the use of police force. That's how numbers works. Unless it's 5.7x the number of black people killed by cops (it's not), then black people are being disproportionately killed by cops (They are).
Take 2017 for instance. 457 white people killed by lethal force by police. 223 black people. That's about 2x as much when, if your narrative was held up, it would need to be 5.7x as many white people killed.
2018: 399 white vs 209 black. LESS than 2x the deaths.
2019: 370 white vs 235 black. about 1.5x the deaths.
IF you want true equality, then either the white numbers need to be 1,267 in 2017, 1,189 in 2018, and 1,337 in 2019. Or, conversely, the black numbers should be 80 in 2017, 70 in 2018, and 65 in 2019.
Stop trying to pretend systemic racism doesn't exist just because it hasn't affected you or that it's inconvenient (Or unless you are subtly okay with it and just don't want to admit it).
