It’s insane to me that there have been so many cases of black people found hanging recently and they’ve pretty much all been brushed off.

There’s something wrong with the world when a children’s entertainer needs to ask the country to bother caring about it.

    They did investigate, they said it was suicide. You’ve just decided on your own that this is untrue

    I asked what proof you had and you said none, just a gut feeling that it was suspicious because they were black and not only hanged, but hanged outside. Turns out people track this kind of information so we could look it it up to see if you were right. You were wrong. Not only is hanging still an extremely common form of suicide (even for black people), but doing it outside is the preferred method.

    This is how you are suppose to live your life. Walking around assuming everything is a racist conspiracy based on a hunch and that you can trust everything every famous person says is how you end up stupid

      Got any proof that they actually did investigate?

      I asked what proof you had and you said none,

      No such exchange happened with me, but maybe you are having other shruggy exchanges with others.

      This is how you are suppose to live your life.

      Sure, bud. You’re supposed to live your life looking up statistics to argue on the Internet that nothing ever happens.

        The article that listed all of the hangings had links to articles about each individual case in which there were interviews and quotes from the people involved with the investigation and reports from the autopsies that showed no signs of a struggle.

        yes, you should verify claims actual factual information to see if the claims are true; that is how you should live your life.
