Stop using attack on mentally challenged white man in Chicago to promote racist agenda against BLM

In Chicago, at least four young black men and women did something truly awful. On a damn Facebook Live video made public Wednesday, they allegedly kidnapped a mentally challenged white man, beat him, humiliated him, cut his hair, and yelled “f--k Donald Trump” and “f--k white people” while filming it for the world to see.

I just arrived back in America this morning after a week away and just watched the video moments ago. It’s awful. I have deep empathy for the victim. Twenty years ago, a racist mob of young white men beat me so badly that I missed 18 months of high school recovering from three spinal surgeries and fractures to my face and ribs.

I hate violence. Nearly 100 people are killed with guns per day in this country. Every 98 seconds someone is sexually assaulted in this country. Hate crimes are on the rise from coast to coast. Our incoming President of the United States admitted that he sexually assaults women. Women all over the country came forward to allegedly confirm it. His first wife, in a sworn deposition, said that he raped and brutally assaulted her. Ivana Trump later said she didn’t want the allegation to be considered in a literal or criminal sense.

This country is sick.

4 nabbed for torturing mentally disabled hostage on Facebook Live

However, I see thousands of white folk online asking me why I’m not speaking out about it.

Beyond the fact that I literally just got back in the country a few hours ago with my wife and five kids, my answer is simple. As soon as I clicked on the first official story about the incident, I saw that four people had already been arrested for it....

Why would anyone buy this Piece of Crap NY paper? This is as bad as The Chicago Tribune and the supreme racist Clarence Page. The Trib is about to go out of business, hopefully the same for this NY rag.

And poor Shaun missed that 2 of these criminals should’ve been in jail for gun crimes, based on minimum sentencing laws.

How were they out of jail?

What is the difference between Shaun King pretending to be black and someone wearing blackface?

Absolutely nothing.

How do you promote a racist agenda against a racist organization?

“The reason I hit Shawn [sic] is because he pushed my x-girlfriend up against the wall yesterday and threatened to break her neck over $8 dollars she owed him and I care for her and she was scared yesterday because she thought he was going to hurt her and I didn’t want to see her get hurt,” the assailant, who was cited with fourth-degree assault, told police. “I know it was wrong but I couldn’t stand him threatening a girl like that.”
Typical POS bully pretending to be a victim when he was hurting a girl. I noticed on the documents it also has white checked by race.
