This is a short clip from a longer video I made in 2018. While analyzing shark bite data I encountered accusations that bite incident numbers are actually higher than what gets reported due to a global conspiracy by shark huggers to hide the facts. Looking further into I ended up finding evidence that I believe to be contrary to that claim...even in apartheid-era South Africa the deaths of black people (who they didn't even bother to identify with names) were still recorded. So I guess black lives didn't matter enough to give them names but did matter enough to go in the record book against sharks.'Sharks, Racism, and Coverups' is a bonus material video for the larger project 'Victory Over Sharks', both of which can be viewed here:whitesharkvideo.com/racism #sharkbite #racism #coverups #blacklivesmatter #doblacklivesmatter #victoryoversharks #sharkbites #statistics #sharkbitestatistics #coverups #conspiracies #sharkculling #southafrica

Black Lives Matter...when it comes to recording shark incidents. 
 ​Sharks, Racism, and Coverups. Are the number of shark bites covered up in a massive conspiracy orchestrated by shark huggers?
Sure...the shark bite database includes people who weren't even given the respect of a name yet it was still deemed worthwhile to record the incidents.  In order to make the video below (Victory Over Sharks) I had to research all the shark bite statistics databases that are available as well as consider the accusation that "many shark bites go unreported", which ultimately led to me discovering that not only are shark bites not going unreported, they were even reporting statistics of victims that you might suspect a country wrecked with racism wouldn't bother to report. 

VICTORY OVER SHARKS
When "the problem" we're battling against hovers been 1 and 0 annually how do we know when we've achieved a "victory over sharks"?  This was the larger project that led to also making 'Sharks, Racism, and Coverups.'

And some final rants...
The practice of shark culling is a ridiculous as it sounds.
