Okay, so I saw this gem this morning and I thought for sure that it would EASILY be the dumbest thing I’d see on Facebook all day. I think maybe it was the comment about “urinating in its blowhole” that got me.
But, as luck would have it, I’ve since seen something WAYYYYYY more dumb:
Hey, Brian Hyder, whoever you are…how in the hell you managed to equate Ferguson/Baltimore with Charleston is beyond me. Uh, hey, man, these things aren’t related at all. And, the fact that you so ridiculously tried to pair them only outs you as an insufferable racist and moron.
Ferguson, Baltimore…these uprisings, whether you agree with them or not, were reactions to feelings of social injustice. What happened in Charleston was a massacre. How can you not see the difference? How can you not see that they aren’t and can’t be related. You took a beautiful moment of, like you said, multiple races coming together and turned it into an unnecessary political statement. What other reason could there be for you to have pulled President Obama and Al Sharpton into it for?
You want to make a political statement? Fine, I guess. But to do it at the expense of the recently deceased is gross. Just gross.
Oh, and dumb. Don’t forget dumb.
