And nope, not in any way minimizing it. Even just one innocent man shot and killed is too many.
With the NBA canceling their games, a handful of players spoke out about how much they love America - but that no matter what they do or try, America hates them, or similar to that fact.
So they have millions of fans. They get paid millions of dollars. They get trekked around the nation in planes and buses, and the best of the best hotels & just 5 star treatment wherever they go. But not far off from Kaepernick, they use their millions and their reach to talk BS like this. Not all mind you, but far too many.
Then baseball and others did the same yesterday. And then a tennis player in the semi-finals bailed on her match - cause she's sick of the genocide happening non-stop around our nation.
Some of these seem like attention whores, jumping onto a movement or whatever -- and doing what they think the masses will like and garner them the headlines for 15.
I truly feel for those innocent people killed and all of their loved ones. Black lives matter in America as much as whites or any other race or religion. And while the headlines, agendas and MSM would make you think thousands are shot yearly, and as if only blacks are ever shot.

That is a lot of black folks shot when they make up 12-13% of our population. Hispanic folks make up about 16-17% of our population and not much lower stats than blacks shot.
The main issue would be "unarmed black men" being shot.
But how many of the shootings were of armed men?
How many convicted of felonious crimes?
How many shootings investigated - how many were found to be bad?
In other words, ya need to know the underlying circumstances of each shooting. If someone is armed and runs or fights back, then I don't care the color. Was it a wanted felon, or wanted in general? Any criminal history? If so, any weapons charges that they may know going into an event? So many things dictate happens with each individual case.
Again though, that said, even one bad shooting is too many. And as to the title, and those specific numbers - I am NOT minimizing it, if anything, exposing it. It IS a higher percentage than other races. But still, everyone should look at the merits of each shooting alone.
