I know you weren't playing the race card. And maybe you didn't notice the
Some people, such as the NAACP, will make this about race because they can. When an African-American dies under suspicious circumstances while in government custody, some will consider it the fault of white people even if there isn't a white person within 50 miles of the place. It doesn't matter that white people had nothing to do with it, what matters is that some people will always blame white people because they founded the government and they held slaves 150 years ago, so in some people's minds a 19 year old who would rather steal cars than get a job is a victim of oppression.
I'm not saying it's right. I'm not saying that ALL black people feel this way. I'm not saying that there aren't white people who will say all of the problems in the world are caused by blacks or Asians or Muslims or whatever their ethnic group of choice. But I do find it hypocritical that when whitey jumps up and randomly blames some ethnic group, that person is considered a crackpot, but let a member of another ethnic group blame white people just as randomly and it gets time on national news.
And yes, I know the NAACP didn't come right out and place the blame on the white race, but they damn well know that by making ANY statement about this man's rights being violated (even though they were) is going to make it into a race issue because their overall agenda is to promote their own race (that's what the C means). If the ACLU or some anti-death penalty group were to make the same statement, race would not be a factor.
Well....I wasn't sure by the "sarcasm" if you thought I was claiming the race card. Just wanted to clear it up.
I understand completely what you are saying. My guess will be that whoever did this guy in, is not white. And I don't feel race should be brought into this at all, but unfortunatley it usually is.
They all look like fine, upstanding citizens.
