Following the lead of Twitter user @such_A_frknlady, we checked the data. According to the historic record “Lynchings, white and negroes” (pdf) kept by Alabama’s Tuskegee University, a total of 2,911 Black Americans were lynched between 1890 and 1965, when the so-called Jim Crow laws were enforced. Beginning in the 1890s, these racist laws segregated Black Americans in several states until about 1965. During this time, Black Americans were often victims of unspeakable violence, and infamous extrajudicial lynchings.
On an average, 39 Black people were lynched per year under Jim Crow. In 1892, the worst year, 161 Black Americans were lynched.
More than a century later, the numbers have hardly improved. In 2015, 258 Black people were killed by US police, representing over 26% of deaths.
For 216, the trend seems similar. As of July 7, US police have shot dead 509 people this year, of whom 123 were Black.
Even counting only the deaths of Black people who were unarmed, the results are staggering. A conservative count puts that death toll at 38, right in line with the average during Jim Crow.

Peepless, also, about the slaughter of Thai Buddhists in southern Thailand and the endless kidnappings in the Philippines by Abu Saif. Not a whiff of peepage from the Western front in China, where bombings aren't rare at all. I wish, the next time the press plays gotcha with a Republican candidate on some obscure foreign policy i.e. geography question, the candidate would turn it around and ask why theses stories aren't being covered.
