These people aren't "you".

I could make a similar statement:

Child? You're literally being abused and raped by your parents on a regular basis.

This statement is true for a lot more children than the prior statement is for black people.

It's still a stupid statement.

No, being a child doesn't mean you'll be abused and being black doesn't mean you'll be attacked.

The fact is the likelihood of black people being killed is in red states much higher in red states.
