[W:1709]Father and son charged with murder of unarmed black man Ahmaud Arbery in Georgia

What’s funny Is this argument drips of racism. Yet oddly, not a single use of the nword.

It’s almost...almost like systemic racism isn’t so much a set of written down rules as it is a belief system designed to find the worst outcome for just one group of folks in this country.

Consider a jury comprised of the argument above. Hiring managers. Police officers. Imagine a police officer who had the same belief system as the above post expresses. How do they interview suspects? What questions do they ask? How do they record informations, through what lens?

Posts like the above are instructive. And they make me sick.

I'm a minority. According to the left I can't be racist. Nice try.

Sorry, that would be the Republican mindset. They're the ones who trot out Candice Owen types because they think she gives them cover.

Nope, I've been told by countless people on the left that black people cannot be racist. And that any minority cannot be racist.
 
I wonder why @Gondwanaland keeps ignoring what Gregory McMichael said that negates his "they witnessed a trespass that day" argument.

No, Black People Can’t Be Racist

If racism is about power (and it is) and a racial hierarchy exists (and it does), Black people cannot be racist.

Huh? Georgia just changed the statute. https://www.abajournal.com/news/art...st-law-historically-used-to-justify-lynchings

That doesn't affect this case.


No, it is not. The source is the statute, from the Georgia code, § 17-4-60

*sigh* Please, again, read better:

What? Source that claim. LOL this thread is months old and we've been using the same statute.

So then you just dont understand it. Your 'interpretation' is wrong. Or source it. It's not in the statute.

Correct. I already linked numerous examples.

You have been shown whatever the law is you are arguing about is irrelevant because Gregory McMichael, the only one of the 3 to see him before the chase was on, said he did not see Arbery commit a crime, felony or misdemeanour, that day. At most, they saw him commit a misdemeanour on a different day, which they are not allowed to make a citizen's arrest for.

Every time you post here without addressing this point is just more evidence you don't care what the facts are.
