Hey I’m not racist, a beautiful light went out and this is tragic. I cannot begin to imagine the pain their family is experiencing and I feel for the fans.
All I meant was that they were being dumb with a firearm and they didn’t hurt someone else.
I didn’t mean to say anything political or racially charged. Human life in all its colours and creeds are sacred.
Well then I apologize. And I owe you an explanation. We don’t really know each other and what you said read exactly like the offhand racist comments I grew up hearing on the East Coast. And as you might be able to tell I have a real thing about social justice. That particular sentence must have sounded okay to you, but to me it’s a parallel of cops not caring about murders if the victim wasn’t a “citizen”; the idea that black boys and men always hurt those around them; and that black men are inherently more criminal than white men.
Honestly I’m glad to be mistaken. Maybe, just maybe things are getting better.
It’s alright, I understand. Someone’s child died and I needed to comment with more precision and tact, knowing that people are hurting. It’s my fault and I only wish I hadn’t fallen asleep to catch what happened here sooner.

It’s nice to see actual discourse and not just you yelling at each other. Props to both of you.
