As far as I know, we haven’t heard from Tucker yet, but the right appears to be pleased with the verdict in the Arbery murder case. As they see it, the verdict proves America isn’t racist. Are they right?
Well, if racism isn’t a big problem in this country, why is Arbery dead? Does anyone seriously believe the three men would have followed him down the street with guns if he had been white? We can’t know for certain, of course, but experience gives us a clear answer to the question.
A guilty verdict is the best we can do at this point, but it isn’t justice, and we shouldn’t pretend otherwise.
