No featured image available
A black writer and commentator had a meltdown over Twitter after people began using #BLMKidnapping in reference to the attack of a white man with mental health issues.
Tariq Nasheed, author of books like “The Art of Gold Digging,” seemed more concerned with people referring to the attack as a Black Lives Matter kidnapping than the harm that was done to the white man.
The same ppl trying 2 bully every Blk ppl into condemning the misnamed #BLMKidnapping are the same ppl who refuse to condemn white supremacy

Nasheed is right in pointing out that there is no proof that the kidnapping is related to Black Lives Matter. Still, Nasheed delved into a bizarre Twitter rant to support the black attackers and accuse the rest of America of supporting white supremacy.
If u are more outraged over the misnamed #BLMKidnapping than u are over the repeated executions of unarmed Blacks, then YOU are the problem

Graphic footage from a Facebook Live revealed black people torturing the white man in Chicago. Police described him as a man with “mental health challenges.” During their abuse of the man, the black people chanted “Fuck white people!” and “Fuck Donald Trump!” (RELATED:‘F**k Donald Trump, F**k White People!’: 4 People In Custody After Man Kidnapped, Tortured On Facebook Live)
Nasheed continued his strange defense of the attackers, at one point lamenting that the attackers did not have the protection of a union or funding from an organization.
Notice how the ppl involved in the misnamed #BLMKidnapping were IMMEDIATELY arrested. There are no GoFundMe pages for them or nothing

Notice how the misnamed #BLMKidnapping suspects don't have grand juries protecting them. No media outlets saying "they were mentally ill"

Notice how not one Black person has co-signed the actions in the misnamed #BLMKidnapping video. Unlike how ppl cosign Blacks getting killed
