This part🫱 "This is what happens when people with no power in their own lives latch onto polarizing causes/cases.
They live vicariously through situations and make it their identity, then APPEAR TO speak for the entire group."
If someone killed my child, I wouldn’t talk online about it outside of maybe a post.
Just like when I had three SOLID deaths last year.
The internet exists as a place of solutions for me, not ranting how much I hate.
ESPECIALLY ranting negatively about a group of people that had ZERO to do with the deaths.
We’ve allowed so called progressive ideology to lead for so long….
That now MEN equate collective name calling of random people with “healing.”
It’s not.
It’s effeminate, counter productive and solves ZERO issues.
Some get upset because that’s my standard and I’m not deviating from it for either “side.”
You either respond like an adult or like a child. Many are responding like children.
Not only does that NOT help the person, it promotes collectivism and paints entire groups responsible for the actions of one.
White people in general ain’t have shit do with Austin Metcalf’s raising, so called racism and bullying like some are saying.
Black people in general ain’t have shit to do with Karmelo Anthony’s actions, so called racism and stabbing like some are saying.
So when either group of parents, their followers or minions gets in front of cameras to make it about a collective group?
It’s DUMB and weakens their positions.
And I’m not going to pretend it’s not.
Standards are standards.
The Dad’s racist rant yesterday WAS DUMB.
It solved NOTHING other than to paint himself into a corner and that will be brought up in the appeal.
He should move different and control his emotional impulses.
Same as Karmelo should’ve.
Same as Austin should’ve.
The standard IS THE STANDARD.
The people co signing these statements have lost NOTHING and their lives are generally in shambles.
Those folks should focus on themselves more than the divisive media propaganda of the current news cycle and the emotional ramblings of OBVIOUSLY hurt people.
Those of us who actually have done community work in this lane should maintain the standard of objective lessons.
That’s not what most are doing tho.
They’re simply being divisive for their own bias and/or agenda.
Clicks, views, EGO.
This is what happens when people with no power in their own lives latch onto polarizing causes/cases.
They live vicariously through situations and make it their identity, then APPEAR TO speak for the entire group.
The Anthony family AND Metcalf Dad and their respective “supporters” (term used loosely) are reinforcing this notion with their actions and words.
It’s dumb and helps further the divide.
My position has been this, the entire time, across many of these scenarios.
Intellectual consistency is a thing and it’s been lacking so much that I even rarely READ my mentions.
Because most of this online talk about this is full of bots with an agenda or weirdos who lack the intellectual capacity to be nuanced.
So I share the lesson, keep the standard and try to use this death and verdict as a lesson.
Lesson being...
