First of all, you are right about everything in the “breakdown” section. Black people are more likely to be stopped by police. Unarmed black men are more likely to be killed by police than unarmed white men. If this article helps people confront their own privilege that is a great thing.

But how is playing pokemon go any different from walking with a cellphone in public? Are you saying a black man using a cell phone in public is a death sentence? I think that is a stretch.

Last year police killed ~1200 people. ~ 3,200 people die in car accidents every day. Does that mean that getting in a car is a “Death Sentence”? That is not to say that police killings are not a problem. I think Institutionalized racism is one of the biggest issues facing our country today.

Sensationalist clickbait articles like this trivialize one of the most important social issues of our time.
