I address the point, you just want to have the last word. I made the point that accountability must be upheld. In this case, accountability must be distributed to ALL parties, not just one.

I have said that during this post. You just want to have the last word. Go on and have your last word.

Absolutely. I'm not attempting to have the last word at all. You've characterized this as anti-Black racism and when asked to substantiate the claim you could not. Russia is racist as all get out but I see this incident as Griner being an idiot and paying the consequence rather than her being Black and targeted.

My intent is not to be antagonistic, it is to have a discussion regarding our duty to one another. Our duty to not put ourselves in compromising positions and then anticipate rescue. We are being erased culturally, economically, socially, and if they have their way, physically.

We really don't have the bandwidth or resources to bail out the "Can't Get Right" demographic. If you don't agree that's totally fine. But I believe we are at a critical point where the GED crowd have to be left in the dust for the benefit of us all.

    Here's the latest on this story...

    A rep for the family of a former US Marine sentenced to 9 years in Russian prison said he'd bet his car that WNBA player Brittney Griner didn't have cannabis when she was detained

    The family of Trevor Reed, who was sentenced to nine years in a Russian prison in 2020, told TMZ they're "highly skeptical" of charges against Griner.

    'Unusual And Extremely Concerning': US Embassy Denied Access To Brittney Griner Since Russia Arrest, WNBA Star's Location Still Unknown

    U.S. Rep. Collin Allred says Russia denying the U.S. embassy access to Brittney Griner during her three weeks in custody is "unusual and extremely concerning." Griner has been detained since her mid-February arrest at an airport near Moscow for alleged drug possession.

    The US Embassy is not being allowed access to her. I hope she is safe.
