“grappling with a Black man being shot seven times”

Trump-If that black man had obeyed lawful orders and followed the police commands he would not have been shot. After being tased TWICE, the police had very little choice but to use force as the tasers did not work.

Strongly agreed.

Note that Gov Evers also follows the LEFT's new spelling rule by capitalizing 'B'lack. I wonder (not really) if he is consistent for other 'colors'? Remember, this all derives from the 1960-70s Civil Rights battles. At one time it was 'polite' and accepted to use 'Negro' as in "The United Negro College Fund" and so it would have been easy, AND PROPER, to capitalize just like making reference to a singular instance involving a 'C'aucasian or 'H'ispanic.

But no, it was too close to the slang and truly improper word that rhymes with that African River. Strange how it is well known that the people that are so offended by its use by others commonly use it without qualms within their communities. Still, having moved away from 'negro' the other choices for usage have become Afro-American or the descriptive color. Anyone else feel that our language is being moved right from out underneath our feet?
