Why The 'Race Card' Is Played

Europe is reeling from the latest racist mass murder. Nine people were gunned down at shisha bars in a small town near Frankfurt in Germany. A 43-year-old man left a note at his home to explain his motives. He also killed his own mother before taking his own life. While the investigation at the scene continues, questions are being asked about how such a massacre can take place. The spotlight falls on the rise of the far right, an increase in racist rhetoric and hate attacks. https://www.whytheracecardisplayed.com/post/germany-shooting-gunman-kills-nine-in-suspected-racist-attack

Shakthi Vadakkepat @v_shakthi Historian Onyeka Nubia explores why some people are racist, and how racism can be eradicated from society

On black police officers in America: “These situations on the street have put pressure on all police officers, not just black police officers. Of course, black police officers want to serve their community, their families and their race. They want to do the right thing to try to help these young people understand that you need to cooperate and that police officers are not your enemies. They’re your friends. They’re supposed to be peacemakers, not hurt you.
