whatwhiteswillneverknow: geekycubil: whatwhiteswillneverknow: I’m sorry, did you think I would? See, I’m having this issue when people say things like “All Lives Matter”, but then start to do things like share images of dead bodies that are still in the morgue like it’s the latest selfie, while at the same time, want us to feel sorry for the cops that lost their lives during their duty. People posting Black bodies, flashing back to images of leechings, making us look like we’re not even people, desensitizing us so that we can’t feel. So, how am I supposed to feel sorry for cops when you can’t even feel sorry for us? Remorse means guilt for wrongdoing. It’s impossible to feel remorseful over something you didn’t cause and couldn’t have reasonably perverted. I don’t recognize the clip, but assume it is about the Dallas shootings. The interviewer is, perhaps unconsciously or perhaps not, trying to slip in and obtain oblique acceptance of the idea that the interview subject, and by extension protesters probably, caused the deaths. There are already many people pushing that idea. Even if the implication of blame was an accident, that is exactly the cold response that trying to trick someone into accepting -false- blame deserves. I’m happy somebody kinda got where I’m coming from with the original intent within the post. However, 2 things…1) This is an interview, but the subject being interviewed is no longer with us… for a long time. He wasn’t being interviewed about cops getting killed in Dallas, but he was asked if he feels remorse for the cops that lost their lives at the time of the Interview. Here’s the full answer:No. I mean, I would if I could. But I can’t cause, It wasn’t no remorse for Latasha. It wasn’t no remorse for Yusef Hawkins. And it wasn’t no remorse when them muthafuckas kicked my ass. So, they can all muthafuckin’ die til they respect me as a muthafuckin’ man and every black man out there. They can all muthafuckin’ die and that’s real. Until they do, more muthafuckas going to die as long as they got bullets, it’s going to be some justice around this muthafucka.2) This gif was taken out of that context to add my feelings to the mix. A few days ago, we were talking about two dirty cops that done two Black individuals wrong. What have we seen before the cop killing incident? People fearing Black Lives Matter protests, tone policing people and making up fake accounts to tease one of the victims. Then they passed around the videos and overplayed them without any respect to the audience. There are people making memes of the victims. And then the cops got killed. Suddenly, we’re hearing “Blue Lives Matters” and the cops were being respected and such, the narrative just radically shift. And then people want me to condemn the shooters’ actions as a “condition”. I’m still trying to recover from the shock, and I’m being asked to switch to “will you condemn the acts?”NO. I didn’t ask for the cops’ deaths, I wasn’t involved in any plans, everyone outside of being Black (and some of the Black assholes) was making fun of the victims, combing through their lives for something they must done wrong so y’all can play “the minority report” all while at the same time telling me facts that I already know and tone policing me.So, why should I feel remorse for the cops that killed in the line of duty? I’m still trying to feel SOMETHING from the other incidents that happened recently and you want to pile this on me? -- source link
