The incident AnP covered is mentioned in the report, which happened days before this one.

Sneako is such a sad fuck. He is literally just Uncle Ruckus form the Boondocks. His entire lens of black culture is comprised of YNs and Drill music. No Frederick Dogulass, Fred Hampton, Richard Pryor, Jimi Hendrix, Neil Degrasse Tyson, Maya Angelou, Toni Morrison, Serena Williams. JUST KING VON AND NLE CHOPPA. Also what happened to his mind, it didn't used to be this rinsed. He had to push the goalpost back like 7 times because he couldn't maintain his original claim that only african americans get offended by words. So he had to pull out his OL' RELIABLE...BLACK ON BLACK CRIME and RAP MUSIC?????!!!!!!!

There's other videos talking about this incident. The most baffling thing is that the bullies are sad to be facing 'possible expulsion', and apparently returned home saying that it's unfair they got arrested.

Am I the only one who kinda understands Sneako when he says we shouldn’t give words power, i.e. a reaction?

He’s right in that words don’t have a real impact on our current situation unless we allow it to. That doesn’t mean you can’t call someone out for calling you a slur, but not getting overtly offended/reactionary is key because it’s counterproductive. The slur is a reactionary word itself and a counter-reaction doesn’t help the situation.

When his religion, Islam, was brought up. They said, well what if he said fuck Allah? And he did kind of drop the ball on that when he said “it wasn’t the same” but then it felt like he still believed in the same premise of not allowing it to overtly offend/trigger him because it’s again, counterproductive and counter-reactionary behavior doesn’t help the situation.

Then it’s like “well ok words don’t have meaning? Say the hard Er!” But this doesn’t make sense because Sneako himself doesn’t believe that the word is good, he’s just simply saying that when others say it, you should not allow it to trigger you. It’s not good for your mental state. These people are ragebaiters, is what he says.

I find it really hard to disagree with him here despite not being a fan of his. Thoughts?
