People out here acting like 'I'm black, I do black things' is a proper deflection for parroting points that are not conducive to happy black existence.
Either there's internet anonymity allowing people to play their best digital blackface... or there's c00nery going on. Period. Acting like this case has fukk-all to do with black people in any positive sense is obtuse. There is nothing to be gained for us from this case going any way but him going to jail.
Anyone actually black knows this doesn't play out this way if Kyle doesn't shoot white people.
Anyone actually black knows this doesn't play out this way if Kyle isn't a white person.
Anyone actually black knows that, no matter how this plays out, the justice system we exist in wouldn't allow us to be in this situation and do these things and get even a tenth of the consideration given to this murderer. Period. Our fukking victims don't even get this level of consideration.
Anyone actually black knows that this trial is bullshyt and largely performative, and generally speaking is really just an indictment of the divergent justice systems in place that the whole fukking situation was about in the first place. Self-defense doesn't get to work like this for anyone but white boys who 'have their whole lives ahead of them'. Everyone else gets the circumstances of 'what were you doing to cause them to react like that' applied to them - black folk, brown folk, asian folk, women. But here we literally have the law coming in to protect this white boy from even being confronted with the fact that he has victims. Because that might make him feel like he did something wrong. And godforbid a white man gets his feelings hurt.
fukk this bullshyt.
fukk this case.
And fukk everyone trying to act like cheering on Kyle fukking Rittenhouse isn't being a c00n in all caps.
Point-blank period, argue with yo mama about it, I'm not hearing any counterpoints.
Justice for Ahmaud.
