I’ve always been a little put off by him and he comes across as a grifter. My partner has followed him on twitter for a long time and I’ve always told her to take him with a grain of salt. Now twitters blowing up again. Am I vindicated in my grift-radar?

    Surprised no one linked this yet, but he recently put this article out that is rightfully giving him a lot of flak. https://www.thenorthstar.com/p/understanding-the-pain-grief-and

    He is an absolute garbage person, read what he had to say about Samaria Rice's (Tamir Rice's mother) social media posts where she is calling out how people are using her son's death for clout and for grifts. Especially the very large BLM groups that are raising a ton of money but she just isn't seeing any real change happening among other things.

    Ultimately, what I know is that a grieving mother like Samaria Rice has every right to be skeptical and hurt and suspicious and cynical. She wasn’t born that way, but this evil and unrelentingly racist country forced her into that corner. It’s our job to gracefully and patiently help her find her way out.

    I mean that paragraph is just fucking vile to me, he is dismissing her so hard and being so patronizing. No idea if he is an OP but even if he is not, is a grifter in the worst sense of the word.
