You may have a point... From Reuters "Factbox: Who was Ahmaud Arbery: https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/who-was-ahmaud-arbery-2021-11-18/ "In 2013, a year after he graduated from high school, he went back on campus to attend a basketball game and was found with a pistol in his waistband. He was given five years of probation. ... In 2017, he was arrested for attempted shoplifting of a television from a local Walmart." I wonder why Arbery, who supposedly was just out for a jog, routinely interrupted his jogs to snoop around in houses that were under construction. Unfortunate for him that there was a history of theft of property at other construction sites in the neighborhood. I'm sure an upstanding citizen like Arbery had no knowledge of those thefts and was only trespassing on the unattended construction sites because of an interest in architecture.

I already replied to a poster with an almost identical post. This is what I replied: “That may all very well be true, but it’s still no reason for those three guys to do what they did, is it? Just go on Youtube and see the astonishing number of videos of black men being harassed by (mainly) white people, just for entering the apartment building where they live, or sitting in the lobby of the hotel they’re staying at, or washing their car in the driveway of their own home, or being an estate agent going into a house to show it to potential clients. The list is endless. Racism is very much a part of life in the USA.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would I want to bash your country? The only thing I know about the Netherlands is I'd like to visit.

Of course I didn't. You can't blame white people for the violent crime of black people. African Americans are some of the most privileged people on Earth. They wouldn't trade places with a Cambodian, Mexican, Ukrainian, or Ethiopian, I guarantee you. They hit the jackpot being born in a first world country, just as we did. Sure, their ancestors were enslaved hundreds of years ago. Slavery existed all over the world. It was common. Thailand had slaves too. You don't hear anyone else today whining. Most of us have a harsh history. England did unspeakable thing to my ancestors. Many blacks grow up in ghettos, okay. Well, many whites grow up in ghettos in Europe too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
