[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. Everyone gets teased. If you think white people are never teased or bullied, you are wrong.

2. [b]Socioeconomics trump race. Poor or working class people have it harder and are judged more than affluent people. This is why it’s important to dress well and speak properly. [/b][/quote]

Sure it does, lol. I’m sure all of those poor white people are having to teach their children how to avoid getting shot by police when profiled and pulled over.[/quote]

The risk of getting killed by police while black is incredibly low.  Last year 229 black people were shot and killed by police.  The preoccupation that black people must teach their kids how to avoid getting shot by police is just another data point in the very robust narrative that humans are very poor at assessing risk.

A MUCH higher number of black people die (like 10-20x+) as a result of cars AND the disparity between blacks and whites is even greater.  Systemic racism can be attributed as a cause (worse infrastructure in black neighborhoods, particularly worse ped and bike)… yet everyone focuses on the 229 deaths by cop.  [/quote]
