#AMJOY & Ahmaud Arbery



I'm sorry to say that I missed the name of the speaker and her exact words, but one of the guests on MSNBC's AM Joy was talking about the lynching / murder of Ahmaud Arbery, and she said something like, "Imagine if this had been a group of black men chasing down a white jogger and then fatally shooting him."

And it is unimaginable, isn't it? Racism is so deeply rooted in this nation that the imagination is incapable of such a thing.

And we have a president whose comments on this included, "You know, it could be something that we didn't see on tape.... There could be a lot of, if you saw things went off tape, and then back on tape...."

So I guess there might be good people on both sides of that shotgun, huh?

This nation is in the grip of a much more deadly pandemic than Covid-19, that's for sure.
