I know exactly what it says. But the total count is meaningless without
taking the total population of each community into account.

Not as a percentage of their community.

Sure there is. Police killings of unarmed blacks would seem to indicate that
black lives do not matter as much as other lives. "Black Lives Matter" states
that black lives matter just as much as any other life.

Are you sure?

Perhaps, but he's given every indication that he's changed. You're just
trying to pull up some quote from his distant past to make a dubious
political point.
