In April 2018, two men were arrested for setting and not ordering in a Starbucks.   When I was a teenager, over 60 years ago, I was taught to carry a submissive demeanor if I wanted to be free of the havoc that could be rained upon me if I were to act otherwise.  In the year 1994, Denny’s paid out 54 million in race bias suits. Nothing has changed in my lifetime on the presumption of encroachment on another person’s fears when the color of the skin supersedes a submissive demeanor.  Unfortunately, the only subscribers to this reality are the ones being passive, and we’ve seen many times how the act of flaccidity works out.  The closed mind is the security blanket of the unvarying soul. And now Ahmaud Arbery has been shot to death for merely jogging while black.
