When racism happens is bad. When you take action years later I’m reminded of the MeToo movement - this time it’s on an opposite fashion.
Women wait until they’re rich and “successful’ to denounce alleged acts of violence.
Now, this boy waited until the girl was working her way to success and destroyed her immediate future.
In a pure exhibition of cancel culture. Idk if I should clap or cry or laugh.

The cancel culture is real. Everyone jumps on the bandwagon to take down the latest craze.
Real racism is horrible and is definitely a problem in this country. Is this it? Maybe. But I’m not sure.
I do think it is hypocritical for rap music makers to sell their music and image using all sorts of racial slurs and then for people to be up in arms when young people try to act like them.
I have sat my kids down and had talks to them about how they cannot use words they hear their friends (who are black) use. It’s hard for them to understand why they can use the words and it not mean anything bad, but if they were to use them, it would be bad. I explain it to them, but they are so far removed from it, they still think it’s stupid.
