The number of black people killed by whites, counting whites as hispanic
is roughly comparable, about two hundred per year, but there is a big
difference, a huge difference, in the character of the killings: Almost
every black man killed by a white man was engaged in a felony at the
time he was killed. Only about one non felonious black is killed by a
"white" man (actually hispanic) per year.
I meant to say of course "counting hispanics as white", not "counting
whites as hispanic".
Today, blacks are killed by whites in the course of that black man
committing a crime. In the days of lynchings, a lynching consisted of
killing a black man after he committed a serious crime, instead of while
he was committing a crime.
