Race is in the story because we have a history of enslaving Black people as recently as the 70s in this country. To work on farms and in kitchens in places like Georgia nd SC and Alabama, Florida, and even in more northern states when the farms were off the beaten path. Mabey only because it's easier to get away with if they are Black, it's still a race thing yes. But it is also a crime against a mentally challenged person. The guy who did it is scum we all agree, and I hope that man he hurt gets some of that money. In clothes and games or whatever and never has to work again unless he wants to.
I still can't help but wonder where his family went.

Race is in this story because that's all the left has to work with.

Just look at the many cell phone recordings of Black getting pulled over, arrested or beaten w/o having provoked anyone. Tim Scott the Senator from SC has said himself he has been pulled over for driving a new expensive car.
So yeah respect the people who were alive and remembering know it still goes on where bad people can get away with it, and racist people will ignore it.

(This reminds me of an old All in the Family, in which Archie states his desire to move from New York to that "southern" state of Minnesota...
