It was a drive-by shooting and the nature of the provocation has not been published. This is typical when it involves blacks, but not with whites or other minorities. The rumor mill around here has also been unusually quiet.
That's RACIST! It don't matter if it's true, the fact that you are white automatically means that you is racist. Here be a true true; in 1989 I met, in rehab, a Jamaico-African-American man. We quickly developed a close friendship and "D'Bob"* is the smartest man I've ever known. We shared the same room for four months and maintained our friendship after our time in rehab. He became involved with a "Christian" group of the Afrocentric persuasion. I would go, on Thursday evenings, to visit him at his apartment and we would grill out and talk about our challenges with sobriety. The last time I was there, he had company consisting of members of his church who were, I thought rather rude by the accepted standards of NC society. They left shortly thereafter. D'Bob and I sat down and ate and during our mealtime discussion, out of the blue, I was informed that I was a racist based solely on the color of my skin.
I have more to say on this but, right now I gotta scoot!
