Yes your quite right talbot , though it would appear more black than white people are being killed ?



No, you are wrong.

The Carnation Revolution, Jno......beautiful....have been there when it's celebrated....just lovely...x

Talbot, more than twice as many black people, proportionately, are killed in the USA as white people are. (Even worse for native Americans.) That does indeed seem worthy of mention.

Okay dokay Talbot. '-)

[-Talbot-]

I don't need the figures jno I know them.
The Guardian has changed the way they put forward the figures on that 'the counted' because it became obvious that twice as many white people were being killed by the police as there were black people. They didn't want you to know that.

[anneasquith]

Do you have a link Talbot ?

[jno]

wel, putting it from the black victims' point of view, they know they're more than twice as likely to be shot dead by cops than if they'd been born white. I don't suppose you'll know this feeling any more than I do.

"How come it is your answers that get removed the Answerprancer?"

Probably because I'm a bit more clumsy and volatile than you Mick.

I swear more readily and lose my rag more easily ...but then you know that hence responses from you like "oh dear".

Why do you ask?

[-Talbot-]

Jno has put up a link but you won't be able to get a clear picture from it.

[Answerprancer]

...and I rarely report posts.

[-Talbot-]

No idea why perfectly reasonable and accurate post has been removed ... but hey-ho

[gness]

Well, I am rarely puzzled when posts are removed.....I can usually see why.....but?......must be slow on the uptake tonight.....

Anyway.....good post Piggy and lovely pic AP....night....Gx
