These people operate in such a funny way.
At what point was it disclosed the men in the video she quoted are “Cis” and/or “hetero” black boys? She watched a clip with minimal context, one that’s clearly presented in a format to produce social media engagement for the creator (which I’m assuming is the girl playing basketball) - and this lady went off about “cis black boys”. For all she knows the people in that video “identify” as “non-binary” or other lgbt affiliations. Similar thing applies to these femicide stats they quote and plant on “cishet black men” - how are they discerning these labels regarding the perpetrators?
That aside, there are a bunch of kids that are knuckledheads and/or outright demonic, it’s a wider societal problem - but we do need to correct it in our community. The older I get the more I see how destructive some of the things that are popular among black youth can be, namely popular rap music, and simple math would suggest you’re more likely to fall victim to a crime by those you live in proximity with (opportunity, chance, triggers etc). However, it’s crazy to pathologize and paint “cis black boys” the way she’s doing
