So white kid is legitimately bullied


Black twitter cant stand a white person is getting attention/felt sorry for, so they lash out and makeup bullshite about racism


People fall for it(the usual suspects on here)and go off on the white kid



People then realism the racism angle is fake but wont care to change their opinion......




Seems about right?

I think he was bullied.

Mom saw a attention grab and Cash cow

Black person saw rebel flags and though instant racist

Couple that with the now apparent fake account asking celebs for money and it looked like a hoax.

I just want to see egg on the faces of idiot celebrities who act like they care and jump on the bandwagon of one bullied kid as if it makes a difference for anyone else they say they care about. It's all a PR move for them.

My biggest question is why is there a child holding a pistol in that picture, and more importantly why she holding it with her finger on the trigger? Gun Safety 101

You can stop there. She's not the first or last mom to use her kid(s) for attention. I don't think she saw the "Cash cow" angle at the start.

That's racist. There are just as many white ppl who push that angle.

And the fake account talking to celebs pretending to be Jones.

No doubt it looks good for people like Chris Evans who got in on it early and retweeted almost a million times. But the benefits are mutual. They get PR and the kid gets to have some great experiences.

IMO it is you who has the egg on your face.

1) You really think some lonely little white kid is walking around calling black kids at school the N word? -- really?
2) If the mother is or is not a racist is completely irrelevant to what happens to children at school.
3) You are a typical gullible moron.

I want to commend you on a good thread. Further, I appreciate you staying in it and not just stoking the fire in the OP only.

I think people who do that are shitty people.

I don't understand your point here.

Yes that's literally what I said in the sentence you quoted.

Maybe I'm just cynical but it all seems self serving more than caring about the kid.

It doesn't mean Keaton was the bully or not, but dollars to doughnuts this family is racist.

Can we all agree that no matter where the truth lies, this kid is the true victim here, whether it be from bullying or from being raised by shitty parents, and possibly both.

100% agree, but black twitter does not. Instead they want to bully the kid because he has a shitty mom. Hypocrisy at it's finest; bully someone because you think they are racist....BUT....you are anti bully.

Yeah, Keaton is fricked. He's got a shitty mother and is getting bullied at school. I'd imagine his shitastic support group at home has a lot to do with why he's the target for bullying, but he clearly doesn't deserve it. Always feel terrible for kids like this - they were born into a disaster.

I watched some doc on HBO called Meth Storm. Arkansas meth called ICE coming up from Mexico. A "mother" who is 43 and her two sons, one who started meth at 14, are the main subjects. Watching that shite...mother shooting up meth with her fricking sons man....I just cannot fathom being in that type situation as a young person

You singled out black people. It's not just them.

I'm agreeing with you. My point was that it at least serves both parties.

I believe this all started on black twitter. My link is from apparently a black site. I saw it on blackpeopletwitter on Reddit. That's why I singled them out.

Is black twitter a specific website?

I'm not criticizing your sources. I'm only pointing out that the people who started and spread the n-word lie, while mostly black, aren't all black. It's simply something I noticed that the "white allies" are often the loudest, most obnoxious people within the black online, social community.

No, it's just a twitter thing. Hive mind type of deal.

People believe what they want to believe. You want to white knight for the white kid because you empathize with him on a racial level
