Lost in the news flood today was the formal charging of Emmanuel Deshawn Aranda for allegedly throwing a 5-year old boy from the third floor of the Mall of America.
And buried in the news coverage of that was this little nugget
According to the story, Aranda is a real piece of work in general. But is this going to turn him into some sort of MRA martyr?
…nope.
Agreed.
If he was a true incel, he would have killed the boy’s mother and then thrown her over the balcony.
(That guy probably needs to spend the rest of his life in a mental institution. I hope the youngster makes a full recovery.)
No. There is a large overlap between self-identified “MRA”/“MGTOW”/“incel” movements and the white-nationalist “alt-right”:
Manosphere types stereotype young black men under the name “Tyrone”, a racist caricature of “savage” animalism that attractive white women supposedly find irresistible because they are, according to manosphere types, stupid and immoral and unfit to be in charge of their own sexuality.
So no, the (primarily white) manosphere is definitely not going to try to make a black man like Aranda into some kind of “martyr”. Their “martyrs” are the white misogynists who recklessly murder people out of a sense of aggrieved entitlement at not getting laid.
It was part of a show by black online commentator Jessie Peterson HERE.
He says that if the situation had been reversed, a white man deliberately throwing a black 5 year old boy off a balcony with an intent to kill him their would be riots and demonstrations. He says “where is White Lives Matter”? He also points out that he was a Somali immigrant who had a history of problems.
He is right, its barely been covered by the media. The media doesnt mention the boy was white. he also mentions some black activists have been calling for blacks to “Raise Hell”. And that Black Lives Matter shut the mall down a couple years ago.
He finally tells white people they should speak up and stop taking this.
Jesse Lee Peterson is a nutcase who “thanks God” for slavery, says most black people are “mentally retarded”, that women shouldn’t be able to vote, and many more insane and/or hateful things. His views can and should be ignored.
…so that’s a “nope” vote from you as well then ?
He sounds like a real fucking moron. I use as a life affirmation the fact that I don’t know who he is.
So nice to hear the insane perspective. We hear so little from the insane quadrant nowadays, good on you for doing the tortuous work of listening to a source that you would never otherwise lower yourself to outside of doing research.
If the dude wanted to get MRA cred, he should have killed a woman, or killed a whole bunch of people with a large impressive penis-symbol. Killing just one kid, even in a stupid random way, isn’t much of a message.
I’m going to go with “nope” as well. Aranda sounds nuts, and apparently has a rather lengthy criminal history, but most of it is just general-purpose asshole stuff (theft, assault & battery, disorderly conduct, etc), not targeting women specifically. According to this story:
Where were these riots and demonstrations when Dylan Roof walked into a church, murdered nine black people, and wounded three more?
Peterson being an unsavory commentator aside, does anyone truly dispute his point about the media coverage being different if the races were reversed, though? I can’t see how a white man throwing a black child off a balcony ***wouldn’t ***lead to considerably more intense media focus.
What if it was an Asian baby throwing a Jewish lady? Can you imagine the uproar?!
No surprise. It’s pretty much the same mentality. Losers who have never accomplished anything personally but think they’re special because they have a penis/white skin. They get angry when other people don’t recognize their “superiority” and hand them the things they think they’re entitled to. They love hanging out with people that are like them because they’re scared of people who aren’t like them. And when they fail, they blame women/black people rather than acknowledge they failed because they’re failures.
I’ve been white all my life and I’ve never noticed that I’ve been oppressed over it.
Maybe the white people who feel oppressed should just stop sniveling.
Hey there, what’s with the reality? Why are you bringing reality into a right wing drooling moron fantasy?
How would the media deal with the fact that if the races were reversed, he would statistically get a lighter sentence?
Naturally, this is why we are all still so obsessed with the David Steven Bell case from last January.
What do you mean, “Who?”?
I find it interesting how this has become all about race, just because some racist lunatic made a show blaming race for this somehow and then got referenced here. Is there any indication at all that this attack had anything to do with race? I’d gotten the impression that it was just some unbalanced dude with anger issues being angry and murderous.
The article states they do not know if race was a factor.
