Black Americans killed at about 20x the rate of Europeans

If Nate Silver looked at wealthy/poverty instead of race I am guessing what he’d find is “affluent white Americans don’t get killed as much as poor white Americans, and poor white Americans are getting killed at <15? 20?> times the rate of Europeans”.

Just a hunch.

I swear sometimes I just think we’re just entirely screwed. I could say the problem is education, and the someone would remind me that you can’t educate kids whose parents don’t care enough to do their part.
