Fubho, Imagine if White people dropkicked a little old Asian lady in the face. I had so many friends on FB show solidarity for Ahmaud Arbery. Some of them even ran 2.23 miles to symbolize the date when that poor guy got murdered.
Few say anything, however, when black people commit hate crimes against Asians, for example. You don't hear about this, which happened in Chicago's Chinatown:
The Killing Of Two Chinese Men Ignites An Anti-Black Sentiment In Chinatown
Even then, when racial tensions flare up, the media ALWAYS flocks to the side of black people. Anyone who says, "Black people always commit these crimes," will instantly be shot down, despite statistics showing that black people disproportionately commit violent crimes compared to all the other races.
And of course, the media will always amplify those who say, "But, but, Chinese store owners are racist against black people! I can't walk into one without getting suspicious looks!" Yeah, that sucks, but that's no excuse for what happened above. It's the same old "blame the victim" defense.
As for Ahmaud Arbery, I feel bad for him and his family. Guys like him shouldn't have to fear getting hunted down because he looks like a robber. Let his murderers rot in jail for the rest of their natural lives. And remove the government officials who were buddy-buddy with the murderers and almost successfully covered up the crime.
But to base a greater movement against racism on that incident is meaningless unless we can talk openly about the big picture.
Of course, we can't. Thank you, liberals, for silencing debate and making sure race relations will NEVER improve.
