That statement defies credulity as you consistently reject the findings of the scientific community, on race, medicine, genetics, climate change, geology, etc... The statement @Energy made, "European colonisation saved us from many of the terrible practices we the natives were practising, which included Slavery, Cannibalism and Human Sacrifice." is a classic racist troll talking point. It is rather odd he would write that. Are trolls becoming that much more sophisticated? Actually once Energy wrote the crap about European colonists "saving," Africans, the gloves need to come off. No one who says something like that deserves any mercy -- for real!

Geno Doing "research" to find the true numbers is part of the problem. We don't have the FACTS, all we have are stats and figures...often contradictory....that are given to the public. How do we know any of them are accurate? Futher, the killings of unarmed AfroAmericans garner more attention in large part not just because so many more unarmed AfroAmericans are killed than unarmed Caucasians....but AfroAmericans are more likely to protest and raise sand about it. When unarmed Caucasians are killed I barely hear a whimper from other Caucasians outside of their immediate family. Why not? Not sure. Maybe because Caucasians have a larger trust in the system and feel whoever got killed "deserved" it; or maybe they are just less emotionally inclined to hit the streets in anger...and thus get less attention. Troy Outside of the common sense point you just made about Caucasians far out numbering everyone else, which is why they SHOULD make up the majority of those killed..... As you point out, it's the frequency and the situations that unarmed AfroAmericans too often are killed that makes it remarkable. In North Carolina yesterday morning while people were still celebrating the Chauvin conviction an unarmed Black man in his car was surrounded by law enforcement and his car was shot up and he was killed. You don't hear about this happening much to Caucasians.
