She's white. I feel she is getting pressure (from whom, I am not sure) to suppress. Or else she just doesn't want to accept that this happened in her district. The attack was not her fault. I'd think she would want more publicity. But everyone is so afraid to start "a race war." Are we so feeble that we can't handle knowing the truth?
Yaelle,
You have answered your own puzzle.
"But everyone is so afraid to start "a race war." Are we so feeble that we can't handle knowing the truth?"
Yes, but not everyone, blacks will go war at the drop of a pin, whites are the ones trying to avoid it. And Yes we are feeble about the truth. It isn't not knowing the truth, its being afraid of the truth, because if you accept the truth, then you would have to accept that maybe fighting back is necessary.
The animals that attacked these girls didn't seem too concerned about it ...
Are we so feeble that we can't handle knowing the truth?
Oh, we all KNOW the truth. It's just that the "leaders" we've appointed to represent us are afraid of SPEAKING it.
