The Carolina Panthers are cutting ties with a major local promotional partner after the company’s founder and CEO was revealed to have sent an email with racially charged comments.
Ken Gill, CEO of CPI Security, replied to a mass email from a nonprofit group called Queen City Unity — asking for action in response to killings of black people by police, like George Floyd — by writing: “Please spend your time in a more productive way. A better use of time, would be to focus on the black on black crime and senseless killing of our young men by other young men. Have a great day, Ken Gill.
“Last Saturday, we said we are committed to doing our part and we mean it,” the team wrote in a statement posted on social media Saturday night. “CPI Security has been a long term partner but, upon reflection, we feel that it is right to end our relationship. We have informed Mr. Gill of our decision tonight.”
“Let me say that CPI, and I personally, stand against racism and discrimination of any kind, and we are actively supporting solutions like the new CMPD de-escalation training facility that will bring positive change to our community. In addition, I fully support the call for racial equality and justice in our community and our country.”
Are you saying the email was a certain race? What the fuck is a 'racial' email?

He makes valid points...
Where’s the “email” news!?
What is racial about the statement? We should ignore black on black crime, or that 94% of black murder victims are murdered by other blacks? Or that blacks commit about 1/2 of all homicides. It seems to me that ignoring these things would be racial.
Nope. It’s called racist. The email, and apparently also this article’s title. Fix it.
Odd how this happens now?
