Am I the only one who is tired of seeing RIP posts and then when they tag the person and you go to their page, they're pointing guns, throwing up gang signs and the middle finger? Then the comments are always people saying "Oh I can't believe this happened to ______" :usure:

Maybe I just have a lot of hood folks on my list because this is becoming a norm on my timeline.

Disclaimer: :whoa: I'm not saying the family/friends shouldn't mourn or that their life doesn't matter.

Yeah, I feel you on that. They make it seem like they were angels when they were the TOTAL opposite.

You see in the regular world, people lose loved ones and show respect regardless of what they were involved in.

I'm not saying their life is worthless and that people shouldn't mourn because of course I would mourn if a family member of mine ventured out and ended up dying because of it. I just keep seeing dudes younger than me, born in the 90s, dying over a lifestyle that they are glorifying on social networking and in real life. It sucks to see it over and over.

Everybody got a Momma. Everybody got friends.

Don't matter if you're a killer or never amounted to anything. Somebody out there cares about you.*

Some might post out of grief, others post out of respect for death itself.

Paying tribute to the deceased is a ritual that's been repeated since the inaugural last breath.


My only issue is with sincerity.
:beli:

fukk the ones who post because it's trendy.

fukk the ones who post for attention.

fukk the ones who post because it's a good look.

fukk the ones who pay tribute to the people they wouldn't lift a finger to help in life.






* This might not apply to bitter coli posters, basement dwellers, and the miscellaneous few who fall into the general bytch ass nikkas category. You're not entitled to love.
