This explains the judge:

Bitch, I will share my opinion just like anyone else and if someone plays up to certain detrimental tropes, I will call it out. The forgiving negro is a problematic trope. It’s why white people think they can demand forgiveness without actually making amends. It’s why people dismiss us when we express real pain and…

There are some folks who are really invested in performative forgiveness. If you ever look into the case that inspired the Dirty John podcast, you’ll hear of a mother who testified FOR her daughter’s ex-husband. The ex shot her daughter in cold blood in the back of the head (explicitly she testified at the trial he…

It’s Nat Turner’s birthday.

Yeah, I’ll allow Jean’s brother to mourn in whatever way helps him. If that includes forgiveness and it truly helps him, I’m not here to judge.

The huge, the performative forgiveness, etc...that was bad enough. The thing that really made this maddening is that he just offered from nowhere that he didn’t want her to go to jail.

What the fuck is wrong with these people? This forgiving negro shtick needs to fucking stop! This bitch deserves every bit of derision and scorn people can muster. This kind of shit is why white people demand forgiveness even though they haven’t done a goddamn thing to earn it!

WTF is this some kind of fucking joke? You convict on murder and give fewer years than someone selling weed gets?

That sentence is a joke, but it’s the usual benefit of white innocence blah blah blah..

This is probably worthy of a whole post on its own but I’m adding it here for context.

Ten years is way too lenient for the crime she was convicted of. Twenty years was what I was hoping for. I hope each day feels longer than the last for her.

Guyger cracked jokes about Martin Luther King Jr.’s death...

“Homage without empathy and representation is appropriation. Instead, explore your own culture, religion and origins. By replicating ours and excluding us — you prove to us that you see us as a trend. Like, we gonna die black, are you?”

“But why do we get the feeling y’all still don’t hear us, though?”

If this child had loose tendrils—if her hair was denser, or longer, or bore some kind of wave pattern, or was the type of texture that reflected more sheen—this would not have been a conversation.

Also I like how while thumb-fucking his phone to churn out his long IG screed, he didn’t stop and think “Oh look another man commenting on a woman’s/girl’s appearance maybe I should STFU and delete this.”

Respectability Politics rears its ugly (but always well-coifed bc white gaze) head again, I see.

Goddamn, Kerby was spitting Grade A FIRE!

“People feeling like they can buy or own whatever they want … if that thing pertains to blackness. We are always up for sale.”

“I take no ownership of choirs, Christianity or curating safe spaces for black people. That’s a “We” thing.”

The thing that white people just don’t understand: Yes, jokes, memes, likes, and other shit you post on social media absolutely do inform what type of person you are. It is one thing to chuckle at an un-PC joke; it’s quite another when you’re just making the same joke over and over. Because at what point does it stop…

If she admits that she “is a little racist,” then you know she is extremely racist. If she were just really racist, she would have said she didn’t have a racist bone in her body.
