#11 Count with me & do the math with me below
1 single violent act against a Black American resulting in death can affect anywhere from 5-100+ black Americans not to mention other races
In America there are about 49–50 million people who identify as Black or African American alone or in combination with another race
Based on the official federal data, the peak year across all 50 states was 2021, which recorded a total of approximately 18,500 violent deaths (including homicides, suicides, and legal interventions combined) among individuals identifying as Black or African American
Dividing that record-high annual number across the calendar year breaks down to an average of approximately 51 violent deaths per day nationwide.
Let’s say each of these 51 violent deaths per day affects an average of 100 black people per day. That’s 5100 blacks per day being affected by violence in America
Let’s not forget some of these violent deaths against blacks have not been reported accurately and some have been labeled as “suicides” which may also not be accurately reported
In order to reach the 50 Million blacks reported here in America, it would only take 27 years worth of violence at this rate to have affected that many blacks living in America
27 years
How old is America again?
Do the math with me……
51x100=5100 That’s 5100 a day The amount of blacks being affected
5100 a day times 365 days a year= 1,861,500 a year
The amount of blacks being affected
50,000,000 divided by 1,861,500=26.86
Round up
27 years
How old is America again?
50 Million Blacks have been affected by violence in America at least 9 times 🥲
The “statistics” alone should make you “feel something”
Which is the opposite of “numb”
