us really do see a black man existing and be like straight to jail
Are you saying black men commit crimes as a standard part of their existence?
no i’m clearly saying that the us will arrest black men for the “crime” of existing while black
Skipping court after failing to pay child support = existing while black?
As a single father, I never missed a child support payment, even before it was court ordered, even when I lost my job. When I got a better job I renegotiated and paid more.
But child support is only a necessity because our country would rather sustain a class of parasitic “owners” who have to make greater profits year after year. The courts are part of this apparatus that steals value from all workers. Another part of the apparatus is carcerial punishment. Another, systematic racism. All are intrinsically connected.
He is forced to pay child support and then incarcerated when he doesn’t. Because of artificial scarcity, our politicians would rather transfer money to wealthy donors by sending weapons that arm a genocide than to make sure children are properly taken care of with healthcare, education, safe and abundant living conditions. This necessity is enforced by the violence of a legal cartel, and that violence is used against BIPOC workers at much higher rates of than on white workers.
The individual conditions are often more specific and contradictory. For example, Mr. McCrary was a child celebrity and perhaps was somewhat wealthy himself. But he was still a worker, albeit a creative one, whose creative work generated millions and millions in profits, more than enough to support his children but instead are gobbled up in the coffers of TV execs, reinvested to make millions and millions more in interest, rinse and repeat.
Yet this racist, barbaric system is so well tuned to alienate and destroy people’s innate humanity, that it generates suckers who defend it endlessly, asking bad faith questions ad nauseum like some snot nose second string junior varsity debate club dingleberry
He is forced to pay child support and then incarcerated when he doesn’t.
Correct. Not for merely existing as a black person.
We don’t need to knee-jerk and make everything about race just because we saw a picture of a black person in an article.
The system of violence and incarceration affects black people much more than it affects non-blacks. From experience, when we buy the framing that the system is fair and equal, then we distance ourselves from the reality of violence and incarceration that has plagued BIPOC communities for hundreds of years of this continent.
If we fail to frame the issue in light of systematic injustice, then we are lost in illusion and idealistic alienation
Every time a crime happens, we need to check if they are black. If they are, we need to screech about racism.
Got it. Thanks coach!
Wow, you’re really trying to be as bad faith as possible, aren’t you?
I’m confused here tbh.
He had unpaid child support, missed a court appearance and was arrested leaving the country.
Ostensibly he was fleeing repercussions.
Jail is kinda wild but if he is a flight risk ( eg: he was caught heading to another country ) then detention might be proper.
Idk what the color of his skin has to do with anything here.
Just trying to see if
youthey actually read the article or are just virtue-signalingDo you think he should be held without bail for his crimes?
Do people trying to flee the country typically get bail?
Yeah… everything about Family Matters was and always will be be mind boggling to me.
I still think the wildest/saddest thing I’ve read about was the child actress whose character just disappeared without explanation doing pornographic films when she turned 18
Holy shit, I thought you were joking at first
I saw this one. Carl should be there any minute to pay his bail and file a complaint on his behalf.
