Cops are killing black women, there's just not as much coverage on it as there should be.
Being black and a woman is 2 strikes.
I said PRIMARILY,so how many in proportion to black men?
And "as much coverage on it as there should be." SO are you complaining about coverage for white or latino killings also because there isn't any for some reason.

Hold the phone. I stated my opinion. Being a woman is hard enough but you add being black onto that and it gets harder. You're not going to get the inaccurate statistics you are trolling for, the black women getting murdered by cops is not getting reported as much as it should.
No where my original post is there a complaint about lack whites and latino coverage. My post is about black women.

Exactly. SO why didn't you mention the lack of coverage about white and latino police shooting victims?

Black women aren't feared like Black men are. I can find videos of underclass Black females behaving violently, fighting and acting like men. Black men and Black women are looked down on more compared to other groups. However, Black men are more feared compared to everyone else. When you are feared as well as looked down on, your chances of getting killed go up.
But why are so many black men willing to play up those fears? That's what I will never understand. The hip hop culture/rap music basically glorifies "thugs" and "drug dealers."
Far too many young black males willingly choose to emulate the worst behaviors, which make them direct targets and more likely to be profiled.
If race is the only reason black men are being killed by police, why is it primarily young black men being killed? Why isn't it black women or older black men. Cops are only racist against men? So cops are sexist and ageist also?
So. More white men are killed than white women. Why? Because females are not as big of a threat, that's why. This isn't rocket science.
maybe if blacks didn't commit disproportional amounts of violent crimes police wouldn't treat them like more of the threat that they, statistically, are.
Here is the truth. Both and man and a woman display aggressive, violent behavior. Ceterus paribus, that man is more likely to get killed than that woman. Men are generally more feared, especially Black men. And men are more likely to get stiffer sentences for their crimes when they commit them. There is a bias against women in the workplace, especially STEM. There is a bias against men in the judicial system. Black men particularly.
When you are both hated and feared, it makes your life that much more meaningless to the person who makes a decision over you.
