Dear black folks,
Okay… have a seat… there’s something we really need to discuss.
*leans in* You know… we really don’t have to stand with Karmelo Anthony because he’s black. Like, we can just either keep quiet and let the justice system do its thing, or… even better… we can side with the actual victim.
This whole “even if Karmelo is guilty, I’m gonna support him” attitude is exactly why black folks are given side eye all over the world. We have to stop making martyrs out of people who don’t deserve it.
My heroes are my heroes despite their skin color. I look up to men like Clarence Thomas, Dr. Ben Carson, and Dr Thomas Sowell not because they’re black, but because they’re great men. Let’s find more like them.
Hugs, only because I say this out of love. Well, not hugs for all of you. You know who you are…
Zeek
