The double standard is glaring. No way a black man could have shot a CEO dead, took a bike ride through Central Park like nothing happened, smile and flirt on camera with face exposed, go to PA and chill out, then show up at breakfast at McDs a week later and live on as a hero. He’d be dead or shot!

I forget how amazing Nippy's voice was in it's prime! We lost a great treasure too soon 🥹 This project was recorded in South Africa at the end of apartheid with Madiba in the audience to 60k+ right at the peak of Bodyguard soundtrack fame! Ricky Minor was MD 🔥

Relevant reading on this.

Asymmetries in spatial and social segregation do seem related to a lot of this discourse.

"White people typically avoid black space, but black people are required to navigate the white space as a condition of their existence."
