LINK Letters From An American 03/18/2021

On Tuesday, in Georgia, a gunman murdered 1 man and 7 women, at three spas, and wounded another man. All three of the businesses were operating legally, according to Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, and had not previously come to the attention of the Atlanta Police Department, although all three had been reviewed by an erotic review site. The man apprehended for the murders was 21-year-old Robert Aaron Long, who is described as deeply religious. Six of the women killed were of Asian descent.

Yesterday, at the news conference about the killings, the sheriff’s captain who was acting as a spokesman about the case, Jay Baker, told reporters that Long was “pretty much fed up and kind of at the end of his rope. Yesterday was a really bad day for him, and this is what he did.” The spokesman went on to say that the suspect “apparently has an issue, what he considers a sex addiction,” that had spurred him to murder, and that it was too early to tell if the incident was a “hate crime.” Long told law enforcement officers that the murders were “not racially motivated.” He was, he said, trying to “help” other people with sex addictions.

Journalists quickly discovered that Baker had posted on Facebook a picture of a shirt calling COVID-19 an “IMPORTED VIRUS FROM CHY-NA.”

As Baker’s Facebook post indicated, the short-term history behind the shooting is the former president’s attacks on China, in which he drew out the pronunciation of the name to make it sound like a schoolyard insult.

Back when trump was first starting his run for president - 2015 - a writer from the south (no memory of her name or which publication it was in) covered a bit of the history of the south seceding from the Union, reconstruction into the Jim Crow laws and focusing on the attitude among some whites that has not changed. An example being something she still hears in the south, "I don't know what's wrong with the blacks over in such and such a county, our blacks know how to behave". She commented "and they think they are making progress because they don't use the n word, but you know they still want to".
Finding Heather's posts shortly after the pandemic started locking down the US has been wonderful to understand how deep this issue goes in America.
I hope it helps spark real change in the attitude of some Americans.

I just finished this book, it is excellent. [amazon.com] I highly recommend it for a good understanding of what is really going on in the US today.

That boy needs to be in a padded room for a long time.

He needs to be in a predominately minority prison for the rest of his days..

@Charlene Now there's an idea. Along with 45.

Jay Baker got removed from the case. The amazing thing is, these idiots don't realize they are saying anything wrong.
