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.
I found more data
Between 2005 and 2014 there were 25,207 suicides by asphyxiation. 90% of these were hanging and the most common place was a tree, at 2,215
76% of the victims were white, so 1683 people were non-white… over 9 years. SO that’s 59 a year or about 5 a month.
So yeah, finding 8 black people hanging in public over 8 months is probably pretty normal

Yeah I’m sure that you’d love that to be the case.
I can’t imagine commenting in a public forum telling people to not care and not investigate. Why would you spend your life this way?
Why would you look up statistics in an effort to tell people to do nothing?
