The number of people killed by the police has risen every year since the murder of Mr. Floyd by a Minneapolis officer in 2020.

        I’m not colorblind, but I’m aware of the colors that don’t work for those who are.

        Caucasian flesh tone colored pencil is one of them.

        If you are Caucasian and have skin that is any of those colors, please see a doctor immediately.

      To not discriminate against the colorblind, they made it hard for everybody.

      Until this comment, I hadn’t even realized there were multiple colours in the graph.
