Latest News & a freebie

If you watch national news, you would have seen that yesterday in Tidewater, Virginia - Virginia Beach, to be exact - there was a mass shooting. Right now there is some controversy because details about the shooter were held back for a good while and now it turns out that the shooter was a middle-aged Black male employee. The controversy? If the shooter had been of any other "race" the FBI would have immediately searched his home, computer records and so on. This, according to the below referrenced article:

Now I don't subscribe to the idea of "race" but see it from a Sociological perspective as a social construct whihc has done more harm than good. However, I do have a problem with any differing treatment by law enforcement because of so called race and worries about racial profiling. Shouldn't everyone be treated the same? Tht is, if I'm a suspect of some crime, I shouldn't be treated differently than someone of a different race, culture, or religion. Will be interesting to see what happens with all this. Meanwhile, understandably, the local area (& Virginia Beach is close by) is very disturbed about this senseless crime.

Watching news updates, I did not get back to current digital project but have for you a PU zip of elements and a paper for your color stash. Fittingly, today's zip is Color Pops - Black:
