It's insane to me that there have been so many cases of black people found hanging recently and they've pretty much all been brushed off.

There's something wrong with the world when a children's entertainer needs to ask the country to bother caring about it.

So this is tough to track but the US NVDRS data says that between 2005-2014 there were 25,270 hangings. 90.7% of those involved hanging, so 22,931.

The three most common hanging points were Trees (2215), beams, and closets.

That alone says 221 people hang themselves outdoors every year
