If I was in his position, I wouldn't have responded the same way.
That said, anyone familiar with his personality and didn't expect such a response was fooling themselves.

I get his point but I also get their mother's rage since she probably felt she was saving her son's life at THAT moment.

To me it looks like she already told him not to be out there and he went anyway. I could be projecting
my mom's used to talk and if that ain't work she put the paws on me.

My moms ALWAYS warned me about the company I kept and vetted my homeboys. Damn near my whole hood, all the males have criminal records and did prison or jail time.
My moms ain’t really have to worry though because I ain’t hang with riff raff. I basically was a lone wolf and did s*** by myself. I never liked having a lot of people around me anyway
On my pops side alone, majority of them cats habitual.
I’m probably the only male in my family who has no criminal record. Never been to prison or jail, I never even had a speeding ticket.
If your mom or dad ain’t hands on, I feel sorry for you. I mostly ran dolo or surrounded myself with certain type of dudes but being a crash dummy is REAL!!
A lot of these dudes followers and go on “missions” because their easily influenced. That mom did the right thing. I’m sure she didn’t mind him protesting but looting and throwing rocks (if he did) she wasn’t having it

Some folks have to be excluded for us to be inclusive.
Shorty is a mess, has been a mess, and will continue being a mess, as long as folks are willing to provide a "safe space" for foolishness.

Frat needs to chill. Momma was doing any and everything to stop her son from being like anyone of the other criminals that were out there that day. Since the father is most likely is not around Momma had to step up and smack some sense into him. Spar the rod….spoil the child.

There's a whole lotta context behind that video, and they are 3-dimensional people. I haven't checked up on them in a bit but the mom seemed cool and decent and wasn't exactly proud of that video but more of a "it was something I had to do" situation. Unless I'm misremembering her situation, she was working multiple jobs, one of them as a nurse or otherwise in a similar role in healthcare. She'd gotten home from work and told him not to be out there, and so she went out there and 'got him'. But I think she has a couple other kids who listened, or maybe that's the part I can't recall.
Anyway, local hospital (Johns Hopkins) extended her an offer I believe, and she took it, but then something about the situation fell through, I can't remember. I just remember it was a negative toward them. Maybe it was an offer to him. Anyway, he seemed decent as a kid too, he'd just done the wrong thing that specific day.
If anybody cares enough to research it and see what the current situation is, I'd love to see it. Hope they're doing well.
Didn't phase me a bit because I caught them hands from my mom all the time just for being a dumb kid. We all (meaning the people I grew up with) did. Usually behind closed doors though, but you knew you'd fcked up from the glare and the tone long before you felt the belt or the hand.
Anyway, I wouldn't have caught the hands in that situation though, because people protesting against injustice, nay, ******* GENOCIDE are not the problem. The people committing it and supporting it are.
(and yes, for the unaware, this video is from like 2015)

As a parent who is actively going through the process of setting expectations, watching them not get met, and struggling with finding the correct way to redirect my child, this ******* implying expectations weren't set can eat several bags of dicks.
Stop assuming you got it figured out based on a 30 second ******* clip.

Didn't think Kendrick vs Drake would somehow start a "colorism" debate but here we are .
Kendrick called him out for appropriating black culture & people are acting as if he's wrong for it because Drake is half black, As if we don't have fully black people who try their hardest to disassociate from black culture every day & use it when it's beneficial for them (plenty on this site)

The relentless messages from society are no joke. People kill because of it. Thinking about it for a bit removes any sense of surprise that societal messages around beauty will have people trying to look in such a way that society accepts them or deems them beautiful or attractive, or desired.
Our men and women voluntarily sign up to go fight other people of color to defend a country that deems us and our hair and our cultural practices lower than dog****. That's more self-hate to me than someone getting or putting in long hair so that sickening names aren't yelled at them by passers by. When you're ready to go die while killing other poc to support a country that terrorizes you and people who look like you. But guys (and women) will do that and it's looked at as honorable and desirable.
Society's messages are a mofo.

I disagree with her. In AMERICA they made our ancestors/kids feel like second class people because they were black. They never made it comfortable for us, so I darn sure won’t make it comfortable for them. That’s disrespectful to my ancestors (IMO)
Again, those white folks didn’t give Emmitt Till a pass or allowed him to be a “kid”. Again, until they start speaking on reparations, I’m not trying to hear anything.
They never tried to make our lives easy. Black people are to gracious
Those 3 girls that died in the 1963 Birmingham church bombing (ironically her home town) didn’t get empathy or grace either.
It’s ASTONISHING to me how the world/America makes sure the Holocaust, War Hero’s are ALWAYS celebrated but we can’t celebrate slavery and how disenfranchised we were.
Nazi’s continue and are forever criticized (as they should be) but we can’t FOREVER criticize the colonizers, pilgrims and racist fore-bearers . Not on my watch.
It’s completely and utterly baffling.
You’ll never hear a person tell a Jewish person to forgive a Nazi or forgive someone who hurled antisemitic slurs at them. Again… so why should black people? I need answers

So you believe white kids should be made to feel guilty? If yes, why?
Because that was her premise. (Along with empowering black kids without making them feel like victims)
