Ahmaud Arbery

I'm not.
I just want you to clarify what you think happened and why those two men murdered that unarmed man.

Ex-pastor goes on run with TV to make point about Ahmaud Arbery shooting

A white former pastor said he ran more than two miles clutching a flat-screen TV to prove that the color of his skin was enough to protect him from meeting the same fate as unarmed black jogger Ahmaud Arbery.

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?

Right now?

Unfortunately, they've had talks about this and had to explain situations like this too many times to count as this point most likely...so my guess, is unless the child is really young, then it is "just another example".

This is hardly unusual.

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.

He was killed BECAUSE he was black. The murderers made it part of the discussion, not the media.

Walking the dogs this evening, saw these 3 female tourists coming out of the construction site in my neighborhood. Turned out they were my neighbors who were over looking at the house being built. One used to live in the house that was torn down to build this one.

Earlier, talking to my next door neighbor at our mailboxes, he said that last night walking his dog, he went into this house under construction on a nearby street and even climbed up one of those wall ladders that was temporary to see what the view was from high up on the house. This is a guy in the 65+ age group....and white.

Has the last three months not taught you what happens when you ignore a pervasive sickness?

Do you think the previous president did a better or worse job than this current president at trying to address and fix this sickness?

As Dolomite has displayed, everyone will inevitably have a different opinion on this. Some will say yes and some will say no. I personally feel that having a well educated, intelligent black man attain the office of President was invaluable to the African American community, especially young kids, but it also exasperated folks like Dolomite who think that any mention of racist friction somehow makes it "worse".

[pdub]

I'm just wondering what his opinion on it is - if he deflects and says some people will have a different opinion then he's not answering the question. Does he, individually, think the current administration is doing a better job at mending America, particularly regarding the African American community and the pervasive sickness/ignorance that some people have against it.

"Reasonable" imzcount, i.e., dolomite, is a troll.

Feeding it only encourages it.

Yea, he's gone off the deep end spamming articles from clickbait 'news' sites, but surely somewhere deep inside there's some sort of mantra about his suggestions to handle things, right?

If you say so.

Depends on whether he answers with his own thoughts or whether his digital persona answers with his typical Dolomite digital persona shtick.

You mean the president whose Attorney General called Americans cowards when it comes to race?

[pdub]

So mark DC down for the current president at doing a better job.

Please forgive my ignorance.
So, Do you think Obama did a better or worse job than Trump "at trying to address and fix this sickness"?

No. We're delusional, not cowardly.

I mean...except that you can speak for yourself.
