This Is How I Percieve The Stat Of Our Country

I see four components at work: media, politicians, civic leaders, and the people. Last year 150 African Americans and 380 non-African Americans were killed by the police, however, the media predominantly shows the African American deaths which gives the perception African Americans are targeted unfairly by the police.

Some politicians and civic leaders use the media driven news and proclaim we have a real problem racism, violence, and parity in society. The people see this and the problem is magnified and is real based on perceptions from the collectiveness of media, politicians, and civil leaders. It appears our ideology is to be divisive as a nation and not inclusive.

By your numbers there were 530 office involved killings of civilians.
The African-Americans get 28% of the killings.
African-Americans amount to about 13% of the population.
The other 87% of the population get 72% of the killings.
Do you see the problem here?
If it was spread evenly, the African-Americans would get 98 killings.
So they are getting an extra 52 killings just for being African-American.

So African Americans comprise 12% of the population but 28% of people shot by police. That's bad, however if you look at statistics for teens, it's even worse. It's less (way less) about police targeting black youths, and much more about the fact that many of the poorest parts of the country have the most stressed out police. Police that are not a part of the community they are serving, police who are essentially an occupying force in a war zone. We've got to figure out how to change that, we need to figure out how to bring better funding to those departments, better jobs to those community and better schools to those kids.

So while half the population get's all defensive about the numbers, instinctively defending police from a bogus charge... we are not raising taxes to better fund police departments, figuring out how to get jobs in these neighborhoods or doing anything about the schools.

The ideology of the left is divisive; they incite racial conflict as a tactic to keep racial minorities solidly in their camp for the elections. The left does the same thing for other constituencies as well, and the MSM is the propaganda organ of the DNC - because leftist ideology motivates the bulk of the MSM.

"150 African Americans and 380 non-African Americans"

If that is indeed the ratio, that is a huge number among African American compared to everything else in the United States.

Classic communist agenda. Get a bunch of people on welfare. Give them poor education that denies the existence of God and tells them that the government should take care of them. Create a parity war between haves and have nots. Incite riots with a bunch of concerned citizens and just a handful of communist rioters who will fire shots. The government then has an excuse to suspend civil liberties while blaming those who oppose state welfare for not caring about them. Remove anyone who opposes socialist ideas. Legislate communism and remove all opposition (violently preferably). This is standard communist plan for converting a free people to communist dictator rule.

They need to move out of cities where there are no jobs. Change is good. The problem is that they are indoctrinated by socialists to wait for the government to fix their problems.
