Before they died, Jennifer Kirk and Sue Sue Norton were both victims of domestic violence, but the men involved — the ex-mayor’s sons — faced few consequences despite a long history of similar allegations.

    It’s how we treat justice that speaks to the racism. Bodies happened and no questions asked - that’s the point here. You’re right that race has nothing to do with murder on a moral level but for motivation, race is a powerful factor in both why and what to do about it.

      I agree. I thought I was responding to someone who mentioned the murderer was white. Stating race as the motivation for this particular murder overlooks they the privilege involved. Power corrupts weak men. Power and money is what kept both murderers not facing justice. The father got away with it since he had power. They come from the proven bias towards rich vs. poor.
