Triad Today’s “Knights of the Round Table”

	May 19, 2020: “Brian James: Homegrown Crimefighter”
“Back on February 1, before the COVID-19 crisis hit the state, Greensboro actually had some good news to celebrate. That’s the day Brian James, a Greensboro native and graduate of Page High School and NC A&T, was sworn in as the city’s 23^rd Chief of Police.” *[more]*

“I can’t blame my Black neighbors for the pain and anger they must be feeling toward Southern men who happen to share my skin color, after they’ve just watched another video of another unarmed Black man shot down in cold blood by another group of White racists. There are no words I can say to make things better.” *[more]*

“Generally speaking, racist words don’t just slip out accidentally, nor have the feelings behind those words just suddenly surfaced for the first time. Dale Earnhardt, Jr. commented that, ‘If you don’t have that word in your vocabulary, you don’t have to be careful. If it’s not something you use, you never have to be concerned.’” *[more]*
