    They literally don’t care about skin color here. Not one iota. Murder is murder and this is that (to them).

      I grew up in Texas in a deep red county.

      In a country notorious for it’s systemic and institutionalized racism, you grew up in a section that votes predominantly for the party that is notoriously racist ( In general, not in comparison to any other party ) and would claim that race has no part in a decision that is known to have racial divides in applicability.

      That might be the greatest feat of mental gymnastics i’ve ever seen, truly.

      On the off-chance you genuinely mean what you say:

      That you and the people you know don’t care about race is laudable, but it doesn’t seem to be broadly applicable to the rest of the state or country ( and in the case of republicans their party )
