>Shit if you all read a bio of Thomas Jefferson that mentioned

>was a slaveholder, yall be mad. Same concept.

It ain't the same concept because 1) nobody is saying he was perfect, 2)Jefferson was a fully grown President of a nation whereas X was a rapper who wasn't even legally grown yet, and 3)Jefferson benefited from white supremacy while X was a victim of it in many ways, being a product of how our communities are targeted and oppressed, complete with being in the system from a young age. Very different but you're trying to compare us to white folks in a system of white supremacy like all things are equal. That doesn't make sense. This even seems quite hypocritical, b/c if I start focusing on all the terrible things about you, "you be mad," right? Is that the same concept too?
