It’s weird that the following item isn’t bigger news.

It happened in St. Louis and many there are furious.

To add insult to injury, the victim of this recent theft had served his country during World War II as a Tuskegee Airman.

A 93-year-old former Tuskegee Airman was the victim of two robberies by two different groups of people in one day.

Around 11 a.m., the man was driving to his daughter’s home and got lost. A man entered the victim’s vehicle, took cash from the man’s trousers pocket, got into another vehicle and left the scene. The suspect then reportedly got in a black, older model four-door vehicle and drove away, police said. The victim then stopped at Page and Walton.

Police are now looking for the veteran’s maroon 2012 Honda Accord Sedan with Missouri license plate AA2 K8R.

After losing the suspect, the victim stopped at another intersection and asked two men for help.

It’s obvious what’s to blame here: white supremacy.

Rather than help, they took the man’s vehicle.

That’s all I’ll say about this, because Ta-Nehisi Coates hasn’t tweeted about it yet and I don’t want to risk contradicting him.
