Myles Garrett tweeted something that in retrospect he probably should have kept to himself.
So before all of that NRA money starts rolling in, and Rosanne fans start wearing #95 jerseys, and Laura Ingraham starts retweeting your thoughts, I just wanted to see if I could reach you one last time.
You implying that Black People should bite their tongues and not say nigga (because that is precisely what you’re doing) is like telling a 14-year old U.S. Olympian gymnast not to wear a leotard during her routine, so Larry Nasser doesn’t get any ideas to rape her, because, by that logic, “if we’re all offended by child molestation, why even allow little girls to put on make-up in the first place?”
This is commonly referred to as “victim blaming.”
In your own words, you said that you wanted to “expand the dialogue,” but “200 years is generations ago.”
So, in other words, you want to “limit the dialogue” to fit the narrative of your own timeline?
Myles, Myles…this type of language is literally the definition of Stockholm Syndrome…
My Dad is 82. So that means that the man that raised me actually did drink from colored water fountains, and ate food from colored-only restaurants, and relieved himself in colored-only bathrooms. That’s not “generations ago” Myles.
I am literally a 27-year old, first-generation son of a colored-only man. And I’m not unique.
I just think you kind of answered your own question, when you asked: “wHY cAn’T SOme oNe ouTsIde ouR rAce uSE iT?”
My next lesson for you, Myles, is to look up why black folks put “Sir” in front of their first names.
