I should have done my homework to find out that you have to rake pecan leaves and fight the squirrels for pecans,I rather fight them rather than gun carrying thugs as you mentioned. WELCOME TO MAYBERRY!
The unfortunate death of Mr. Archie Dupree was considered "front page news" because he held a county commissioner seat; it had absolutely nothing to do with race.
The two situations you mentioned are completely different. Usually, suicides do NOT make front page news unless the individual is some sort of public official. Anyone remember when the Warner Robins mayor committed suicide? Guess what: it was front page news, and not because he was white, but because he was a public official.
Believe what you want, but the only racial component involved in your example is the one you're creating.
You should be glad the drugs are being gotten off of the streets and it does not matter who it is or if they are black, white, mixed , or whatever.
Grow up and use your sense and stop whining and making it about an issue that it isn't!
People need to move forward and heal,they will not heal while reliving the past. Can we all just get alone in peace? Dodge County means Dodge the County if you can because it is obvious that the minorities have no voice but meanwhile they talk but donot try to make a change within themselves or their community.
