Kanye has been delivering powerful rants on Twitter (X) in recent days, including a defense of Diddy. He also mentioned individuals we can’t name multiple times. I focused on his defense of Diddy because I appreciate seeing Black men support one another. I’ve never accepted the way white-dominated media cancels Black individuals for the same actions committed by white people. I haven’t seen a single white YouTuber, social media influencer, or news personality address the numerous white celebrities who visited Epstein’s island, including one who is currently the President of the United States. It’s a clear double standard, and I believe it’s about time a Black person had the courage to stand up for our community.
Diddy may have committed the crimes he’s being accused of, but the law is meant to provide equal treatment for everyone. If the laws are enforced selectively, targeting certain groups while exempting others, then those laws become invalid and lose their meaning.
