Why are Black American women so sexist?
In the latest shooting by police of a man in America, the girlfriend said "it could happen to any of you" (talking to Black men and women). But it only happens to men! And the sexist media almost only put the Black men on television.
On New Zealand's TV3, they said that Blacks are 14% of the US population, but 28% of the victims of police shootings. However, men are nearly 50% of the US population, and probably 100% of the victims of police shootings.
Also, male police officers are probably 100% of the victims of Black shootings!

Men are not 100% the victims of police shootings. I don't recall the exact stats, but something like two-dozen women were killed by police in 2015. Not many compared to the 965 people total that were killed. This isn't a contest though. There should be absolutely no justification for killing unarmed and non-threatening civilians by police or anybody else.
Out of the 965 people killed only 90 of them were unarmed. I would guesstimate that about a dozen or two-dozen at most were also non-threatening. In every other situation someone is armed and more than likely put the lives of officers or other civilians in danger.
