If Arbery was white he'd be alive today.
And I've never believed these 3's defense argument that they were out doing some crime prevention patrol. They saw a black guy out for a run and decided to go threaten him because they simply didn't like black people in the neighborhood. I'm sure they were planning on terrifying him by menacing him with guns, but they killed him instead.
While it's try that a lot of progress has been made on race relations since the 60s, it's also true to say that the last several years there have been steps back as the GOP has become more and more extreme and open with their white supremacy.
