I know I’m on hiatus, but all of these stories have angered me so much that I just have to talk about them.
I’m sure you all know about that horrific act of racist terrorism in Buffalo, NY. I don’t have to repeat too much, but I didn’t want to see the loss of life or how soft that devil Payton Gendron got so far. Some updates have come up that Gendron was in a groupchat on Discord and other online platforms that detailed his original plan of killing at least THREE DOZEN Black people. That “lone wolf” excuse crumbles after that news came out. All those people should be hit with conspiracy charges! This is just sick with how these white supremacists are coddled in this country. Please check out this video for more information. I’m glad Phil called out how these racist jokes and memes are dangerous. They are preludes to attacks and this goes back to all that propaganda in this country. I wish Gendron gets hard time, federal hate crime charges, and spends his life in jail. Also, there needs to be an Anti-Black hate crime bill. If the AAPI community can get one for suffering for much less, then there is no excuse to have a hate crime bill for the Black community, too!
Of course, white supremacy isn’t just limited to America though. Recently in Wales, an eleven-year-old boy named Raheem Bailey was racially and physically abused in Abertillery. The local school didn’t do anything about the bullying and Bailey was attacked so severely that he suffered many injuries before damaging his finger while trying to escape which was so bad that it had to be amputated. Abertillery Learning Community deleted its Twitter due to the backlash and there have been no punishments for the students or teachers who were watching the situation so far. I’m just beyond sickened. Those who say they won’t care because the boy was Black Welsh and not African-American should be ashamed of themselves. Racism is freaking global! Here’s an article about the situation. I hope Raheem is able to recover and for his assailants to be severely punished! https://www.itv.com/news/wales/2022-05-23/school-trust-closes-after-boy-lost-finger-fleeing-bullies

It’s hard to believe we are two decades into the 21st century yet this is still a major problem in modern society. Where did we go wrong? 😦

I know and it’s just disturbing how stuff like this happens worldwide. You would think people would progress more than back then, but much different is society compared to decades ago besides the technology available? That’s just two recent examples that happened to get reported. I’m also concerned about the stories you don’t hear about.

Sadly, it isn’t just racism, it is other issues of abuse against women, children, the elderly as well as political corruption that seems to have got worse as people become more selfish and twisted.

Those issues are still prevalent which I won’t deny. People are still reeling from that school shooting in Texas this week which is another horrific tragedy and more details have made it even worse in hindsight. Even then, people called out the double standards with how the shooter was treated in Texas compared to that devil in Buffalo. This whole world is so twisted.
