(which is what the gov't is.. toxic white masculinity)
But I've noticed that hasn't been mentioned much in here... nor is it a choice on the poll. What we DO have in here are folks rushing to reduce this to some everyday occurrence of "black-on-black crime" even tho this situation is far from normal, considering the way he was shot, the fact that the getaway driver wasn't even arrested (no, seriously), and the shooter is an informant. Nipsey was signed to a major record label and was also pushing multiple messages that are bad business for the maintenance of white supremacy. Black people buying land/buying the block up and starting businesses, eating healthier, getting black folks into coding, buying appreciating assets, ending gang violence. To that last point, he wrote a letter to the police department requesting a meeting to work on solutions to gang violence (he was killed a day or two before that meeting was to take place, btw). He was so thorough that denying him would be far too obvious. But some of yall will buy it hook, line, and sinker if another black person kills him, because you hate yourselves that goddamn much. Even when the killer works for them. If you're just totally convinced that this was some random shooting, then you should probably do yourself a favor and read up on how black revolutionaries have been killed by the gov't in the past. This situation doesn't pass the smell test. Also, nbcnews can kiss my ass putting out this "toxic black masculinity" garbage when they have zero articles about "toxic white masculinity" which has been around long before white pseudoscience even classified Black males as men. That's right, the concept of black manhood and womanhood are barely a century old in this country... which should inform and change how some of yall view this "toxicity" concept and the real source of it, but I know how most of yall get down. Blaming the black male is white supremacy's most consistent scapegoat route, and the bulk of you niggas are right on board on some de facto white supremacist bullshit. Shout out to the 4 or 5 trill people left on here putting enough respect on Nip's name to question what REALLY happened here.
