As expected, Atlanta mayor stirs steaming Ahmaud Arbery pot

[The Hill] Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms (D) said Sunday that rhetoric from the White House gives "permission" to people who are "prone to being racist."

Her comments on CNN's "State of the Union" were in response to questions regarding the shooting of Ahmaud Arbery, a 25-year-old black man killed in February.

Bottoms said the circumstances surrounding Arbery’s death are part of a larger issue around the country.

"The rhetoric that we hear coming out of the White House in many ways, I think many who are prone to being racist are given permission to do it in an overt way in a way we wouldn't [otherwise] see in 2020," she said.

Bottoms said if local leadership fails in cities across the country, the Justice Department is supposed to step in and "make sure people are appropriately prosecuted."

#1 I notice, wiki article doesn't mention any place of employment or study after 2012. And, let me guess, his place of residence is miles away from where the shooting occurred.

#2 Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms (D) said Sunday that rhetoric from the White House gives "permission" to people who are "prone to being racist."

Let's take the last ten years of crime data we have and count the number of blacks killed by whites and the number of whites killed by blacks. The disparity is awesome. It's Mayor Bottoms and company who tolerate and give permission to what is basically a one sided war by burying the facts.

#7 it would be nice to hear some specifics about this 'rhetoric' that mysteriously turns everyone racist.

a real journalist might even press for details, instead of nodding and going along with this nonsense.
