Ahmaud Arbery Say his name. |
Ahmaud Arbery, age 25, was taking a run. He was a football player in hgih school and running was something he did. On February 23, ten weeks ago, Arbrey was taking a run, in the middle of the afternoon, when he was murdered by two white supremacists, a father and son, men with ties to law enforcement.
Who they were and why they did this is a matter for a jury to decide, as yesterday they were finally arrested. The fact is, a black man in American is a subject of suspicion and fear and anger by members of the white majority and as a reslt, they are penalized for who they are, in incarceration, in harm, in death.
Yesterday, it was announced that the DOJ would drop charges against Michael Flynn, who committed treasonable acts and lied to the FBI, crimes to which he pled guilty. Abrey was murdered for Running While Black. The racist double-standard in this country is so plainly evident, and yet nothing changes.
I run, and I run without fear. Because I am white, because I am a man. I have never been anyone's target.
