        A Statistician uses very simple math to explain to Black Americans why they are 99.9% more likely to get murdered by their own than a cop.

        I love when someone makes a bad joke and responds that not everyone gets it. No, just not funny. It's more sarcasm than satire anyway.

        So when BLM protestors destroy black communities in a protest. Is that like your boat setting itself on fire, then blaming you?

        Is this even trying to be funny? It's condescending, tone deaf and intellectually lazy, but keep preaching. The choir loves it.
