#MarieGottschalk talks to #Chrishedges about corporate unaccountability and #PoliceBrutality
She has this to say, although it is unclear to me from the discussion if she is referring to all white Americans or just rural Americans:
“More white people are killed by U.S. police officers each year than people from any other racial or ethnic group. Eight of the 10 states with the highest rates of fatal police shootings are in the West, where black people constitute barely 3 % of state populations on average. As for the other leading states, one is West Virginia, which is one of the whitest and least diverse states. The other is Louisiana, one of the most racially and ethnically diverse states. White people make up the majority of people in rural areas in nearly every state and also constitute two thirds of the people killed by the police in rural communities.”
