Even in the early days of the pandemic, the National Safety Council found that the emptier roads were proving to be more deadly, with a 14 percent jump in roadway deaths per miles driven in March.
Could it be blacks are move likely to walk in streets?
Roads are Raaaaacist!
You forgot to capitalize “Blacks” / sarc
So we’re supposed to buy them new cars now too?
Driving goes down during Covid, but black traffic deaths go up?
Its BLM and defund police
Blacks disproportionately live in cities. Cities are Democrat run. Besides allowing riots and looting, city police have been told not to pursue criminals and especially to limit traffic stops.
Black neighborhoods need MORE law enforcement, not less.
And wear dark clothing at night?
No doubt the fault of devious white supremacists.
they should wear seatbelts
Were they mostly peacefully protesting by blocking freeways at night?
Stupid asinine article is stupid.
If you refilter the study for city dwellers vs rural -you’ll find that black people don’t have as many cars because they live in the city where they don’t NEED cars.
This also leads to much more traffic congestion and crosswalk traffic then you’d get in rural and suburb areas.
I’m sure if you go back and look at pedestrian deaths in suburbs that’s you’ll find white people die at 90% the rate of black people.
Don’t buy into the propaganda folks.
Let me guess.. because blacks have disproportionately greater disregard for the law ?
Out in the streets in the middle of the night
Roads are racist!
(Come to think of it, why are they paved with blacktop and not something like concrete?)
Uh, being chased by racis’ popo!
Expect more traffic deaths when you choose to stand and walk in the road in order to obstruct traffic. Think black lives matter.
If math be racis, then physics be realzy racis.
The only way to fix this disparity is for more white people to die in traffic accidents. It’s the only fair way.

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.
Trump?
My white privilege?
Slavery?
Lack of reparations?
