Do parents of black teenagers really think police are going to shoot their kids? It feels exaggerated based on the data (to put it mildly), but is this what they believe?

As I always love to repeat, during the Floyd unrest you had MPR reporters uncritically repeating claims of activists that police in Minneapolis were “killing black people every day”. Just in off hand comments like it was something everyone knew.
Meanwhile in reality land police in Minneapolis kill about one person a year, and about half the time that person is black.
Obviously not, otherwise they wouldn't raise such entitled, aggressive and disrespectful kids as that group. People's belief systems are demonstrated by what they actually do rather than what they say. Those who actually fear for their kids' lives usually teach them not to antagonize others and follow the rules. But a lot of black parents seem to believe (and are not wrong) that a fat payday is only one viral video and a good race victim performance away.
Are you suggesting that most black parents are purposefully teaching their kids to act badly in hopes of viral video fame and gofundme money? Cuz that seems like maybe you took a thought thread a few inches too far.
A lot of Black people think this. I hear em say it all the time. Which is…odd because it doesn’t seem to keep anyone from going out to do the things they want.
Yes, a lot. It’s actually seeming to cause us to not like each other. I’m ADOS so from my perspective it seems they are far too eager to take stolen valor from slavery and are just as racist toward us as any other group. I admit ADOS have been mean to them in the past but I mean you eventually have to get over being called an “African booty scratcher”
When my company had its mandatory DEI training, this black woman said that every time her black husband leaves the home, she is scared he will be killed by the cops

Seemingly a fair amount of people seem to think at least hundreds if not thousands of black men are shot by the cops every year 🤷🏻♀️. https://www.skeptic.com/research-center/reports/Research-Report-CUPES-007.pdf

It's like Oprah Winfrey claiming that *millions* of Black Americans were lynched in the South.

Note that Parade Magazine printed her statement without questioning it.
(See Wikipedia for more credible numbers about how many people were actually "lynched" during this admittedly awful time in American history:

Where did I say "most"? Seems like maybe you're taking a thought thread too far.
The amount of resistance during police stops would suggest otherwise.

Do you think there are differences between American descendents of slaves and the American children of African and/or Caribbean immigrants?
Yes, a lot. It’s actually seeming to cause us to not like each other. I’m ADOS so from my perspective it seems they are far too eager to take stolen valor from slavery and are just as racist toward us as any other group.

Yes. Absolutely yes.
Yes, because it's one of the most ridiculous conspiracy theories but also one of the most believed.
It also doesn't help that the disparity in literacy rates does have a consequence when it comes to critical thinking.

She meant it.
