A clarification about my Ferguson journal
11 years ago
General
My journal about Ferguson (now deleted) said:
" I don't have such a big insult vocabulary to address this shit, I don't even want to believe it ended like this.
"If you support/are neutral and believe that Mike Brown was justifiably shot and murdered by Darren Wilson, please unwatch me. Don't waste your time responding to this journal, either, as all comments pertaining to the support of Mike Brown's murder will be hidden and if you're a mutual you'll be unwatched/blocked as well." "
First off, sorry if it upset someone.
I've seen lots of people complaining about that last piece that lots of people copy-pasted and I kinda agree with them since it's indeed rude.
Why did I copy-pasted it too then? Because at the moment I was too shocked (I did expect that outcome, but I was hoping for justice at least this time) and tired to write my personal thoughts about it and the last part is something I'd like to do.
Let me explain: I'm currently in the process of removing all toxic people from my life and, by toxic, I mean those who are jerks and those who are homophobic, racist, misogynist or generally ignorant by choice (I'm always willing to educate people about something) and try to shove their prehistoric ideals down my throath. Please, note: I do have friends who are a bit racist (they have a reason or they hate everyone), make racist/homophobic/etc <u>jokes[/u] or that don't share my views entirely, but they can use their logic and are not jerks to me or others.
So, in a few words, I don't want to deal with that kind of people anymore because I had enough and it affects my health.
Those who choose not to educate themselves about the thing because of personal reasons are ok for me, but a general idea of the truth about what happened should be given to everyone so that they can't support a murderer.
I'm completely not ok with how things turned out during the process. I chose not to follow it closely because it angered me from the beginning, but I always kept myself generally informed about it. "Well, there's enough evidence to throw that murderer in jail" I thought, "They can't ignore that stuff and say that Wilson did something right" I said.
Well, now it's without doubt about race. I can't even believe that we're almost in 2015 and people are still thinking that some people with certain genetic features are better than others, that one gender is better than the other, that there's no privilege anywhere in the world. The white man supremacy is still a thing, maybe not as evident as decades ago, but those who can't see it need some special glasses because we keep seeing this kind of shit for every "minority".
That said, I'm done with this topic. You can disagree with me, I don't care, murder evidence is there and you should educate yourself more if you support Wilson. Feel free to unwatch me or whatever, again, I don't care.
