Tyler, you are quoting my fucking Tweet. Can you not read? Do you not understand that there is a difference between saying "No representation" & "Virtually no representation"?
That is incredibly oversimplified. If the police force is 12.7% Black in a neighborhood that is 40% Black then they are still underrepresented.pic.twitter.com/JrY1auKSjv

If we are going to use percentages for this, then wouldn't blacks always be misrepresented, simply due to the fact that their population size is smaller than whites in the USA? Of course they are going to have less fellow blacks in offices of power than whites across the whole US

Also, just because you have a person of the same race as you in office, does not mean they will serve in your best interest just because they are the same race. That kind of thinking would be racial stereotyping.
