I can't imagine being an African American parent right now, especially one who does not live in the South. How on earth do you explain this to your child?

Question: Are black lives more valuable than white lives or are white lives more valuable than black lives?

Answer: Both equally valuable.
The news headline should have been, “A defenseless man was murdered”.
It should be taboo to differentiate between races. The country is already divided enough.

Not surprised that this is YOUR question.

Who is saying one group of lives is more valuable than the other?

Not outright. Watch the news. Do the networks ever say a white man was murdered yesterday? No, but if a black man is murdered they definitely will say the race and that incites racial division in my opinion and that is not rocket science or even brain surgery for that matter.
p.s. curious as to YOUR capitalization.

This folks, is a perfect example of why Donald Trump has supporters.

You're a smarter guy than I am but it doesn't mean I can't give you a response and an opinion for you to ponder.

In this country, MANY people feel white lives are more valuable than black lives. Maybe not to you, but to PLENTY of others.
I don't think you really need me to explain that to you - or elaborate on it.
Maybe the news headline should have been, "A defenseless man was murdered - why?"
You're damn right the country is already divided enough. Is that acceptable to you and should we just ignore it and it will hopefully go away?

A friend whose son is exactly Arbery's age and who's always lived in the Deep South, said that if that had been her white son, the guys would have been arrested immediately and seeking the death penalty would have been announced shortly afterward.

More to the point, though, those guys aren’t following her white son, even if he was looking at construction sites.

I see, so it depends all on HOW a human being is murdered?

Simple, he was murdered because of ignorance.

Your question is not addressing the issues involved in this murder.
