But he's not a racist

President Trump offered inflammatory comments on race in two separate interviews Tuesday, including responding to a question about police killings of Black people by saying police also kill white people.

Trump called it a “terrible” question from Catherine Herridge of CBS News, and separately defended the use of the Confederate flag as free speech.

“So are white people. So are white people. What a terrible question to ask,” Trump told Herridge when asked why Black Americans were still dying at the hands of police. “So are white people. More white people, by the way. More white people.”

Trump’s answer to CBS papered over statistics showing that Black Americans are more likely to be killed at the hands of police than white Americans. While police departments are not mandated to record statistics on police killings, various studies have pointed to how police killings have disproportionately affected African Americans.

A study published by Harvard researchers in June that analyzed data from 2013 to 2017 found Black Americans were more than three times more likely than white Americans to be killed by police.

A Washington Post analysis updated earlier this year found that the rate at which Black Americans are killed by law enforcement officers is more than twice as high as the rate for their white counterparts, though white Americans, who make up a larger share of the U.S. population, account for the largest number of deaths.
