For almost two years now, I’ve been pointing that the vastly celebrated triumph of Black Lives Matter from May 25, 2020 onward has had far-reaching consequences, many of them malign. One of the less expected disasters caused by the “racial reckoning,” even to me, was the growth in black traffic deaths.
Even I was shocked to see the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration road deaths data broken out by race. Like the FBI crime data, this comes from police departments.
An alternative source is the Centers for Disease Control, which track the causes noted on death certificates. They found a similar 8% increase in 2020 over 2019 in overall road deaths (which suggest a huge increase in deaths per mile driven since miles driven dropped over ten percent in 2020.)

Maybe since BLM protests cops have let Blacks drive like maniacs in their neighborhoods?
