Imagine the shockwaves going through people on this forum when they found out a person of color had been charged with something like this.
In the 1980s there were big headlines about a General Motors vice president who shot his wife and children at home in their wealthy suburban home. People were baffled.
Two days later someone showed the man was the only black in the GM executive suite.
The Southerners already knew about this. It’s pretty common in some circles. We had a pastor in my hometown kill himself after he was exposed as being on the down low with the Deacons. He was facing jail time for embezzling and such.
