That's your interpretation bruh. Even as a Christian, I don't really agree with him making a public spectacle of what he did largely for the same reasons you don't like what he did so I hear you. I do. But calling it sell out behavior and all that other stuff is y'all attaching your own ideas to someone else's actions and then judging them for your baggage. That man did not forgive the entire White community for all their evils. He forgave the one that wronged him. Stop acting like his actions are what invented problems that have been around for centuries. Y'all also need to recognize that you people who condemned his actions are just as much to blame for the focus on what he did as his supporters. If y'all hadn't made an issue out of it, it wouldn't have become a controversy and the story would have died. It lasted because it was a national debate, and his action received more spotlight than it should have.
We don't need all the psychological babble.
I hate white supremacist, I'm pro-black, and I believe in justice. That's my baggage.
My ideas come from history. And doing the thing that solves the problem.
That forgiving behavior does not solve the problem and what Botham did would be considered traitorous in past conflicts.
As it should be.
Meanwhile, you want to act like we're wrong for making it a controversy.
That hurts nothing, but our enemy's narrative.
Without the controversy, the public perception could be that black people forgive racist killers.
We don't want that. We shouldn't.
So not only do I recognize that shit becoming a focus, I'm glad it did.
The lives of three black people were ruined in that case while that murderer got hugs and treated like a victim.
You keep trying to paint it like something is wrong with us when all we're expressing is how we value black lives.
So if you truly did agree this conversation would not be happening.
