If police killings are purely about racism, why are nearly all the black victims men when compared to women?

It’s almost as if it’s because black men are perceived as more of a threat compared to the rest of the population, and it has nothing to do with race. If it truly were about race, then why aren’t black women being killed at the same rate?

because of all the ethnicities, black are the ones who commit the most crimes and of the genders, men commit the most crimes. and the difference in crime rates between blacks and other races is significant but the difference between te genders are way more pronounced. that's why it doesn't look like black women are doing lots of crimes but they do more than white women do. and it has nothing at all to do with race or gender. cause the reason for that is mostly habitus related which corelates with gender and race but the reason isn't gender and race, it's habitual differences.

so i guess i'm saying police killings only "look" racist, cause the crime statistics are racially and seuxally skewed. maybe there's some racism within the police as well but even if there was 0, still police would have to interact with black people more. and every time police interacts with a criminal, there's a chance for violence so even if the racism in police was zero, black people would still disproportionally be more often victims of police brutality. i'd love some black lives matter moron to explain that. the issue is was deeper than "just race".

Police killings are not about racism. The facts show that unarmed people are killed by police in proportion to their interactions with police regardless of race

Exactly

Do you think that saying it can’t all be motivated by race means that the idea that we live in a racist police state is inherently false?

You just can't help yourself with your racist posts can you?

How is this post racist? Why is black men being killed not sexism?

The truth is that in 2023 the total number of black people killed by police 2023 was 11. Crazy democrats said it was in the thousands. I wonder if anyone has kept count how many black men have been killed by black men?

That doesn't mean there isn't a racist component. Men are considered more of a threat than women. So, a racist cop is more likely to target black men than anyone else.

[Asker]

Why though? If it has nothing to do with threats surely it would be 50 50 if the cop is “racist”

[Twalli]

You're assuming that his racism determines his actions.

Cops are afraid of black men
