    Our policing system comes directly from slavery.  We're not even using what we know to move on.

    Saying things to delay change is what social media does best.

    Why? Because they kill each other. There aren't white people driving to the hood and shooting brothers.

    Interesting that. 

    Because every single statistic site shows that white Americans are more likely to be killed by police per capita than black Americans are. 

    And that's despite the higher crime rate of black Americans per capita. 

    But if you're talking about why black Americans get killed in general 5 times the rate of white Americans, I'm not sure if that statistic is true or not and I honestly can't be bothered to check it out. But first you'll probably want to find out the cause of their deaths and what led to it alongside various other details that are relevant before you decide to make assumptions and say ALM has it all wrong.

    Bad Choices mostly....they chose the wrong person, house or business to rob and ran into a legal gun owner who stood their ground.

    Because they shoot each other far more often.  Most blacks are killed by blacks and whites are far more likely to be killed by a black person than a black person to be killed by a white person.

    Because they are using all lives matter and blue lives matter to hide their racism

    Because Black lives do not matter if another black is doing the killing.

    If all lives matter, then why are black Americans MORE THAN TWICE as likely to murder white Americans than vice versa?
