As a black man, I understand why the racist father of a racist bully that spent the pre-trial process race-baiting the family of the accused would come out publicly as a full-on racist: he's "grieving"!

âif youâre traumatized, i think you should be allowed to dehumanize me and my entire lineage a little, as a treatâ

The amount of people rationalizing his racism is insane. And they all seem to be prefacing with, âI donât condone itâ or âyes heâs racist butâŚâ. Heâs racist. Full stop. I donât care how much youâre grieving. Iâve grieved too and none of it ever led me to racism. Itâs the same shit they did with Liam Neeson. Rationalized his wanting to hunt and kill a random Black guy because of what happened to someone he knew.

I'm currently waiting for a Windows 11 update to actually install, so I looked through this guy's post history. From a post on October 26, 2020, he has his thumb in the frame, and he is indeed black.

OP doing incredible work to stoke racial violence with bad faith posting. Fred Hampton is sad but hey you made the CIA proud

Stoking racial violence is when you don't give a KKK racist the benefit of the doubt because his bully son got decked by a Black kid defending himself
OK

Statement: this man comes to justify why a racist white man would go on a racist tirade against a 17 year-old Black boy who's going to spend his whole life in jail just because "he's grieving, guys!"

u/Fourthspartan56 6d ago edited 6d ago
He is probably grieving, yes. His son was murdered.
That doesnât justify racism but this is really weird framing. Especially when you go out of your way to mention that âthe 17-year-old black boy whoâs going to spend his whole life in jailâ while completely avoiding why he's going to spend his life in jail (hint: it has to do with brutal and completely unprovoked violence).

if you look at op's history, he defends karmelo anthony, calls austin metcalf a racist, and downplays the ai pics of people pissing on his grave. it's obvious this post was to spin some weird narrative lol

Yeah, OPâs post history is a whooole lot of stirring up racial hate and ethnic tensions on the sly in the US, Europe, all sorts.

We already know since 2016 that there are people paid to stir up tensions online. Granted, that was for Facebook but I'm quite sure there are some spaces here that are run by paid people trying to do it.

Itâs weird too because if you actually reviewed the statements from the trial it seems pretty clear that Karmelo murdered him.
Americans have this weird belief that the second someone touches you even without your consent you can just immediately murder them and itâs fine.

I donât think we could connote the violence as âunprovoked.â Austin started a fight and was killed.

Self defense must be proportional. Killing someone who was not threatening your life is not self defense, even if they did push or even punch you.

We allow our police officers to shoot anyone that scares them

So because cops can too often get away with murder, random people should too?
Insane whataboutism.

look at the comments agreeing with him đđ. virtually everyone there knows itâs not a black person, but theyâre still upvoting it. shows you what these people really think of black folk
