      After reading the post several times, I'm still not sure whether you're making an actual argument. Which is really unusual. It reads to me like a mockery of an issue that is quite serious to other people. Which I would think is unproductive. Honest question: Cognitive dissonance?https://twitter.com/ScottAdamsSays/status/1271538487242575872 …

      As we try to quantify the racism in our justice system, it would be useful to know how many Ivy League educated black men have been killed by police compared to the same for other groups.

      I actually want to know the answer. Seems useful.

      Your question, to me, appears to misrepresent the problem by selectively reducing it to a context in which the problem is small (few Ivy league students are shot, few blacks are Ivy League students), for the presumed purpose of a "Gotcha!" point. You might call that a tell.

      Incorrect. I'm controlling for as many variables as possible to isolate racism. My speculation is that Ivy League students from any culture have a lot in common in terms of how they might handle a police encounter, as in being polite and smart.

      That's a flawed comparison in many ways. The police force at/around Ivy League universities could be trained and act very differently from the police force in black neighborhoods. The encounters would take place in a context very different from the average black-police encounter.

      And if none are hassled in the context you describe, it suggests the problem is wealth not race.

          A low crime neighborhood has feedback on a cop's nervous system. Less danger creates less stress and less felt need to be hypervigilant.

          Yes! All qualifiers for ‘systemic!!’ It should be happening to all...not just some in particular areas and to poor/not poor.

          No. That's so obviously a wrong conclusion from comparing apples (students encountering a well-trained police force operating on a campus) to oranges (people encountering a less well-trained, potentially trigger-happy police in a poor neighborhood).

          Related to this: What's the relationship between wealth and racism? Could racial disparities in wealth be partly the result of racism (think of your examples of "ordinary" racism like denying jobs)?
