          Wow! Haven't laughed that hard for a while. At least today anyway.

          I think you could've picked a slightly more liberal source! LOL!

          Headlines such as:
          --"Racial Bias in Healthcare"
          --"Racism is bad for your health"
          --"Algorithmic Bias in Healthcare exacerbates Racial Inequity"

          We can see what their agenda is!


          And to correct you previous post:
          "For every black man that is killed by police, 2.5 white men are killed by the police". So I'd say white men die two and a half times as often as black men at the hands of police.

              Good. You took the bait. Now what are the stats for an UNAMRED black man being killed by a cop? I'll be waiting.

                Try to keep up buddy.

                In 2019 out of the nearly 44 Million black people in the U.S., 251 were killed by police. Which is like 1 in 175,000.
                So, that means it's more likely a black person would be struck by lightning than die at the hands of police.
                Of those 251....14 were unarmed, which takes the chances to 1 out of 3.1 Million.

                  Re: Let the truth be known

                  The Washington Post has created a database
                  Just 6% were unarmed.



                  One of the most pernicious myths about police shootings is that officers shoot unarmed black men at an alarming rate, when in fact just 2% of the people who were killed by an officer were unarmed and black. Since the beginning of 2015, law enforcement officers across the country have actually killed 33 more unarmed white people than unarmed black people.


                  Nearly every single person police officers have shot and killed since The Washington Post started its comprehensive database has been armed, yet the popular misconception persists that law enforcement is killing unarmed black men at a staggering rate.
                  While it is true that since whites comprise 76.3% of the US population and blacks comprise just 13%, black people are statistically more likely to be shot and killed by law enforcement officers; multiple scientific studies have proven that racial animus is not a factor in this disparity.

                      People shot to death by U.S. police, by race 2017-2021

                      Published by Statista Research Department, May 3, 2021

                      Sadly, the trend of fatal police shootings in the United States seems to only be increasing, with a total 292 civilians having been shot, 62 of whom were Black, in the first four months of 2021.

                      In 2020, there were 1,021 fatal police shootings, and in 2019 there were 999 fatal shootings.

                      Additionally, the rate of fatal police shootings among Black Americans was much higher than that for any other ethnicity, standing at 36 fatal shootings per million of the population as of April 2021.

                        More dishonest reporting.

                        What was left out. Black men make up only 6% of the population but commit about 50% of all violent crime. Violent people are gonna be more likely to die and that's the way the cookie crumbles. White liberal men are too much of a pussy to talk about reality and black culture.

                          As clearly stated, these are lifetime statistics, not yearly as you are referencing.

                          At least you attempt to defend your stance, not just copy and paste someone elses verbal diarrehea.

                              Considering blacks only make up 13% of the population of the US I would say you are incorrect.

                                I think you could've picked a slightly more liberal source! LOL!

                                Headlines such as:
                                --"Racial Bias in Healthcare"
                                --"Racism is bad for your health"
                                --"Algorithmic Bias in Healthcare exacerbates Racial Inequity"

                                We can see what their agenda is!


                                And to correct you previous post:
                                "For every black man that is killed by police, 2.5 white men are killed by the police". So I'd say white men die two and a half times as often as black men at the hands of police.

                                Here, chuckle over this information.
