I address the point, you just want to have the last word. I made the point that accountability must be upheld. In this case, accountability must be distributed to ALL parties, not just one.

I have said that during this post. You just want to have the last word. Go on and have your last word.
Absolutely. I'm not attempting to have the last word at all. You've characterized this as anti-Black racism and when asked to substantiate the claim you could not. Russia is racist as all get out but I see this incident as Griner being an idiot and paying the consequence rather than her being Black and targeted.

My intent is not to be antagonistic, it is to have a discussion regarding our duty to one another. Our duty to not put ourselves in compromising positions and then anticipate rescue. We are being erased culturally, economically, socially, and if they have their way, physically.

We really don't have the bandwidth or resources to bail out the "Can't Get Right" demographic. If you don't agree that's totally fine. But I believe we are at a critical point where the GED crowd have to be left in the dust for the benefit of us all.
