So the photo is egregious enough to move you to violence? ...which would mean that you understand that this is approaching a new level of foul.... yet your entrance into the thread was an attempt to provoke. That is
trolling. You were being inflammatory. There are very few times on the IC when we can literally all with unanimity say "damn that's fucked up." This is one of those times, and you trying to be the voice of dissent is childish. There's plenty of topics where I opt out of because I understand the bigger picture, and that requires the ability to manage one's ego. Realize your size in proportion to the universe. Sometimes, even ONLINE, all views are not welcome.
I called out the hypocrisy in here, and I can do that. Ya'll ain't fighting racism with what's going on in this thread. You're just whining and bitching like you do every time these crackas do something ya'll don't like. Ya'll killing me acting like you're accomplishing something worthwhile here. When did meaningless ranting on the net become something that's beyond reproach? FOH
It's not hypocritical. That is a false equivalency. As nasty and ugly as it gets on here, we have bounds.
This picture has been posted on the IC and had gone viral because the white kid walked up to the man and said "you look like my uncle." Anybody who replied said something funny, silly, or lighthearted. There were no vile, inhumane, neanderthal messages to dehumanize this child, so cut it out.
And you ask me how my wife would feel if she came across this? She wouldn't give a fuck. You know why? Because she knows what I do for her and my black daughters in the real world. She knows what I do for the black kids at my church in the real world. She knows what I do for the kids at the majority black school down the street in the real world. So she wouldn't give two shits about me criticizing the actions of some clowns on the net engaging in a "Fuck these crackas" online circle jerk. The second that kinda thing starts to help those black children you claim to care so much about then you can call my character into question for what I said. But as long as it remains a bunch of hypocrites being hypocritical, it's completely fair for me to note the hypocrisy.
This really doesn't have nothing to do with "fighting racism". You dont have to host a sit-in this week to use discernment about something as painfully easy to see as how awful this photo is. This is not a "fuck these crackas" session. It's a proper response to all the venom spewed under the photo. Anything outside of that is questionable. I dont know your wife. I used that example cause that's where you're at with it. You lookin kinda crazy with these comments. It's ok to say nothing sometimes.
Ya'll need to stop putting your hangups on me for real. Maybe you come on here and make posts to just get attention or get a certain reaction. I don't. I made that post because that's what I believe. I don't like hypocrisy, so I spoke out against it. That's it. I feel like racists whites are largely hypocritical and use that hypocrisy to excuse the bullshit they do. And I don't like seeing my people lower ourselves to their level. I say this shit all the time. We shouldn't fight the devil by becoming the devil. And somehow I get labelled as a coon even though if any white person looked at what I was saying, they'd say that I was the racist. Does that really make sense to you.
Was the shit those white people were saying vile? Yes, I started my post off by saying they were racist. Is it the worse thing in the world? No, we see worse shit from them everyday. How outraged am I supposed to be about something like that? This kid lived, was unharmed, and will probably never really know the extent of how he was ridiculed. A lot of black kids aren't that lucky when subjected to the torment of white racists. At the end of the day, all these white people did was express their racism in a way that I fully believe they do everyday anyway. They were just stupid enough to do it on a public forum this time.
These are the same white people that can see a black kid like the one in that picture get murdered by a cop and will somehow try to blame the kid. So believing what I do about them and what most people on here claim they believe about them, how could you even make it through the day if you allowed things like this to make you rage? Like how are you not slapping every white person you see or offing yourself because you have to live in this racist society. No shit like this does not make me mad. I'm happy they put that shit on Facebook. Why? Because they've exposed themselves and suffered consequences for it. I wish they would all do that, and then we'd have no more illusions and they'd all have to answer for the evil that many of them harbor inside. But it seems like most of you would rather pretend shit isn't the way it actually is and then get upset when you're brought into contact with even the most mundane example of reality.
We just see shit different I guess. But in the future, if you don't like something I say or think it's out of place, just say that. There's no need to make the false accusations about my intentions or bring my family into to it or anything like that. Me sharing my opinion when people don't want it isn't childish. Throwing tantrums because you don't like my opinion instead of talking to me like a reasoning adult is childish.
