Who gets to decide the difference between facts and hatespeech? A famous meme is citing FBI crime statistics by demographics, which are considered factual information but using them in any argument will have you branded a racist.
If after November, the powers that be decide that "Donald Trump lost the 2020 election" is no longer allowed speech, you're screwed. Especially if you wear it on a T-shirt.

Depends how you "use" it, surely. Using it to claim that black people are inherently more violent, or to justify police crackdowns on black neighbourhoods is still racist and is not supported by the fact in itself.
