> For the first time in US history, white Americans are faced with the prospect of becoming a minority in their “own country.”

I was told this was a conspiracy theory??

> When a grand jury failed to indict a white cop who was videotaped choking a black man to death, black writer Brit Bennett captured this growing mistrust in an essay entitled, “I Don’t Know What to Do with Good White People”:

I'm sure the author will be delighted to learn that this happens to white people as well [1]. One would also assume the rate of being killed by police would be proportional to the crime rate, as every interaction with police carries some risk, and the rate of interaction with police is proportional to the crime rate. Of course we have to be careful when measuring "crime rate", as it's easy to fudge - a cop might let a white man off with a warning for jaywalking, but give a black man a fine. So you use something very difficult to fudge - the homicide rate. We find that despite blacks being 6.3x more likely than whites (including Latinos) to commit homicide [2], they're only 3.7x more likely to be killed by police (3.5x if only killings of unarmed are examined) [3]. I.e. whites are 67% more likely to be killed by police, per homicide committed, than blacks. The conclusion is inescapable - the police are actually anti-racist!
