So unfortunate, and also a reflection of the wider national context. Maybe time to add a few more to this list of "21 Things Black People Can't Do in America":

Equivalent:
"21 things white people can't do in Germany: Be the nation's leader while having a tootbrush mustache"
... can't do any more.
Like "Can't divorce an ex Pro Football player [link to story about OJ Simpson killing Nicole]"
Or "Can't drive truck down street [Link to story about Reginald Denny]
I know those are older stories but those are the ones that come to mind with little research.
Step 2: Take one news story from said article and offer your own made-up explanation that's even more sensational.
Ok then.
You seem to be focused a lot on just the links and not the sensational language used as anchor text. Some of those stories are tragic. Others not so much. But if the point of that article was to list 21 times a black person was done wrong, they just as well could have given the actual article headline and not editorialized them. (If MotherJones was HN, those titles would have been moderated back to the original.) But that wasn't the point of the article. The list isn't quite as emotional without things like "can't wear a hoodie" and "can't play music at a gas station"
