in the state court, the prosecutors made a calculated decision to downplay the issue of race. we know there was an issue about the confederate flag license plate that the mcmichaels had and the judge ruled that plate could come into evidence but the prosecutors made a tactical decision on not to introduce that into evidence. we know there is social media posts of travis mcmichael, where he's used racial slurs and made other derogatory remarks with respect to people of color, all of that evidence will be front and center in the federal hate crime trial because that trial is all about the three defendants in this case targeting ahmaud arbery because of his race. and, yes, his sister, i think, bringing up those images and juxtaposing the beauty of blackness versus the curse of blackness, which is what these three defendants saw, they saw a black man and they saw that as a physical threat, which is so often the case, in our society, given how pervasive racism is.
