There are people in the same region who are related to folks we saw in those videos and all those documentaries.
Like, so let's be real about it.
This isn't just like, look out for the black guy, you know, for some fun reason.
No.
In that part of the country, in that part of the South, you're looking out for the black guy because you understand that his life is perpetually in danger.
Even in a fun environment, things can flip in that space in a heartbeat.
And for them not to even have that awareness or that sensitivity with enough care for their friend to make sure
that he was covered and protected in that space i just find that absolutely appalling and again we're still waiting all the details but the one detail that is clear they did not ride or die with their brother why is it i know it's a very similar question but um the suspicion talk to me where the suspicion comes up comes from
You know, we have modern examples, contemporary examples of Black people being the only one in a predominantly white space and everyone else comes back from road trips or vacations or holidays, except for the one Black person somehow mysteriously ends up dead and no one knows what happened.
You know, there's numerous cases like that.
There are numerous cases in which what the police have told us about an investigation turns out to be a little bit different than what the evidence unfolds, whether it's the autopsy of the person, whether it's the physical evidence of surrounding space, timeline, timestamps, like we have seen repeatedly the
desire to keep things calm.
usurping the desire to be factual and to make sure we have justice, right?
So there will be an impetus, a motive to not want to have all of the ugliness and horrors of something to be exposed to the public for fear of their overreaction or the proper reaction, depending upon how you feel about it.
And so there's this attempt to cover up, to downplay, to make it sound as if it isn't as horrific as it is.
And it doesn't benefit us at all.
It does not benefit us to be, you know, Midwest nice about racism.
It doesn't benefit us at all to be accommodating, trying to bring people in who hate and who do not believe in the principles of democracy and the principles of America.
And I'm not saying this as some sort of like pretend projection of possibilities or what ifs.
We know because we've seen it, beginning with the Civil War.
