Yes, the elderly woman that adopted an at-needs child of color is the one being abusive and privileged.
The abusive, privileged bullshit is your comment.
She called the cops on her own kid
She mistakenly thought that calling the cops to talk to her child about not stealing would help him understand why it's wrong and what the stakes are. She's an old white woman. She didn't realize that cops wouldn't treat her large, black child as subhuman.
She was stupid and ignorant, but the cops are the monsters here. Don't get it twisted with your own relationships with your parents. This isn't that.
Insanely weird to project your parental issues on a lady calling the cops on her adopted black child, but being old is not an excuse for not being aware of the century long issue of cops treating black people poorly.
Love that your best retort is "no u".
???
There was no "no u" here.
Are you whiny about the fact that they projected their parental issues onto anyone who correctly judged the idiot for calling the cops? Thats their projection, that they said.
Correctly noting the idiot should have known better about the older-than-her issue of cops beating black folk for the sin of being black has nothing to do with anyones parents.
Telling someone not to project their problems isnt a "no u," but its cute your best retort was to brag about how poorly you read.
Cops brutalize a child. All your energy is being spent complaining about mommy. How IS your mom doing these days anyway? 🤣
All my energy? Are you bed ridden? It does not take energy to point out you shouldnt call the cops on black children for not real problems.
And.... Bud? Do you think that mild criticism of a single person means Im not criticizing the cops? Whats this limp dick whataboutism shit youre trying to pull?
Do you need help? The brain fog seems to really be dragging you down.
You definitely seem very stable and reasonable. Lol
Lol, says the guy who thinks internet comments take effort and projects mommy issues like youre a drive up movie theater
Keep on struggling bud, she will love you some day Im sure
Relax, bro. No one cares.
Edit: oh, damn. 1500 comments in four months? Nevermind. 🤣🤣 I'm just gonna block you, carry on.
