Even though BLM says that cops target blacks for traffic stops, its not true. They target them for breaking the law.

https://anncoulter.com/2014/09/03/speed-kills-racial-profiling-study/

“Blacks constituted 25 percent of all speeders and they were 23 percent of drivers stopped for speeding. Controlling for age and gender, blacks sped at about twice the rate of whites. The racial disparity was even greater for drivers exceeding 90 mph.”

BOTTOM LINE: Traffic deaths are just more black-on-black violence.

Easy solution:

1. Don’t walk in the street.

2. If walking along a road shoulder, walk facing traffic
and remain alert.

3. Don’t cross against traffic lights, use crosswalks, and
look both ways before crossing.

You know, all those rules we learn in elementary school.

Roads are Raaaaacist!

Can’t be. The pavement is black! It has to be the racist white dotted lines put on the road by “The Man” making you stay in your lane! Its all part of the new Drivers Ed CRRT training - Critical Road Race Theory.

“The only way to fix this disparity is for more white people to die in traffic accidents. “

I have some candidates.

BLM has also taught people to walk in the middle of the road.

If we follow the present woke dialog, Blacks need their own roads so as not to feel white aggression that causes them to drive poorly.

“Out in the streets in the middle of the night”

Sometimes they make the bad decision to lay in the street after one of their homeboys shoots them:

No, that’s been a habit of a certain demographic group long before BLM.

I don’t believe the conclusion that the increased percentage of deaths are attributable to pedestrians.

At the risk of sound, well . . . you know . . . When approaching a crosswalk while driving, I find it almost universal that pedestrians of a certain culture slow down to half or quarter shuffle and glare at the driver. I suggest that could be dangerous, even suicidal if the driver happens to be of the same culture.

There was 0% change in pedestrian deaths according to page 8, so the premise that more black people died because they were pedestrians is false because pedestrian deaths were unchanged.

On page 7 they said that not wearing seatbelts increased by 15% and that ejection from the car increased by 20%. These two factors saw the biggest increases, so maybe the takeaway here is that more people should wear seatbelts. Maybe that piece of good advice has fallen away due to everyone paying attention to divisive controversial things thanks to the news, instead of normal non-divisive public service sort of stuff.

The solution to everything is more taxes and regulations! Utopia is only one more law away!

Higher test + higher impulsivity = more reckless driving.

Drive in/around Savannah, Georgia for a month and the reason(s) will be quite obvious.
