This is what pisses me off about the Arbery case and deaths like it.

It’s never that the shooting was not proportionate to the crime or that there was an unwarranted provocation, etc.(not saying this is the case for all instances). It’s always the racial issue being put forward, implying all of these outliers (white on black) are racially motivated.

What you end up saying is that racial bias is the real crime and manslaughter/murder is not a big deal. Being racist is killing people, not actually the act of killing.

The murder of these two individuals then is not made known, because real crimes are hate crimes, not murder.

It’s despicable


Honestly, the Arbery shooting probably isn't even the most fricked up racially-tinged killing out of Brunswick.

Two black teens shot and killed a white infant in a stroller for no reason, and a black city official tried to obstruct witnesses from speaking with the police.

That story got national attention, but obviously CNN wasn't talking endlessly about how white people can't even walk their children down the street for fear of black on white violence.

Black kills white....no political traction
Black kills black....can’t talk about that

White kills black.....always racist and ripe for political base motivation and leverage.

My people are tired of living in fear, we are being hunted because of our skin color. When will something be done?

No video of St. Hoodie of the Skittles Bag, or of Micheal, the Gentle Giant. Those were pretty big, right?

Which is the point because the reality is, if the whole narrative about "X can't just do normal activities without fearing for their lives due to Y" is remotely true, it's true where X = White people and Y = Black people"

Did the police have the murderer ID'd and on video while refusing to charge him until the video was released to the public? The issue isn't the crime, but the cover up.

The Daniel Shaver was a straight up execution by the actual police and only got 1/100 of the coverage this Ahmaud shite got. Absolutely insane.

Oh really? Because I’ve heard that the issue is that Black males are in danger from being literally hunted down by racists, that black mothers are having to teach their kids to be cautious, that it’s an epidemic...you haven’t seen similar horseshite?

That’s always a factor, regardless of the crime, and the races of the actors.

Indeed

White jogger gunned down by black kid in Oklahoma for absolutely no reason (not even a shitty pretense)

"Gun violence is out of control"

If the black guy was killed, and the people who shot him were arrested right away and charged with manslaughter or murder before the video was leaked to the public, this wouldn't be a story. The reason blacks feel this way is because when these kinds of stories happen, the police always tend to be the shooter or side with the shooter. In this case, there is a pattern of behavior that looks like a coverup.

The issue isn't that there's random white racists running around. The issue is that the police lay cover for them.

The media usually rallies around the worst possible "martyrs" for these types of situations, where the "unarmed child" actually turns out to be:
1. armed
2. a grown arse man
3. robbing the place he's supposedly just "shopping" at
4. started the confrontation

In this case, none of those appear to be true. Not only did the shooters chase this dude down the street, but they started the confrontation that led to them shooting him, AND the police covered it up despite video evidence!!!

There's no universe where this SHOULDN'T be a huge story!

The police are taking their time in releasing the deceased which leads one to believe they are most likely white.
The murder happened at a cemetery of all places over the weekend.
i'm only here to state i am a white male.
knowing that, i am no doubt a racist and ask to be pardoned.
in other words sorry for my whiteness.

It doesn’t fit the agenda.

Unfortunately, that is the truth.

Exactly. And second degree murder charges went nowhere. It's unbelievable.

bullshite. I’ve seen it called a modern day Lynching. You’ve got the Mayor of Atlanta talking about how scared her kids are to go outside. Hell my kids and I can’t go into 50% of Atlanta neighborhoods without being in real danger of assault/robbery/murder etc. same for her kids..but in this case it would be blacks threatening us..why are her kids just now scared? It’s total bullshite. I get tired of the “I had to talk to my kids about their being black and how to protect themselves”

Hell I had to talk to my kids about the dangers of being white and going into bad neighborhoods or being around the literal black gangbangers at their school. Why isn’t that some news story? Why isn’t she having those same conversations?

I think the law enforcement corruption angle is definitely legitimate. Well I'll go further, the whole thing is legitimate. It's a compelling story about citizen use of force, prejudice, etc.

I think if we're honest, none of us think this is a non-story.

But 75% of the rhetoric is about lynching, or how black people aren't safe in 2020 from white people, etc. That's dominating the discussion.

This should be a story, full stop. But it raises questions as to why random black guys blowing away white people for an iPhone doesn't deserve national conversation.

Throw in that DA's character assassination of Arbery and his entire family and it's a recipe for a major headline. I mean, this cat tried saying that because a cousin was in jail and Arbery had a record that he saw no need for an arrest even after seeing the video.

Because the media is anti-white. Real statistics show that a white person is much more likely to be assaulted/murdered by a black person than the other way around but facts are racist.
