Look, I think y’all are talking past each other.
@iamcardib, I believe you when you say you didn’t mean to hurt Latto and that you’ve been trying to make it right. But intent and impact aren’t always the same thing. You might not have meant it the way it came out, but it still landed on someone you called a friend.
@Latto , I understand why that hurt. You were pregnant, emotional, helping someone you cared about, and then suddenly you’re seeing something negative attached to your name publicly. Anybody would feel a way about that.
But here’s the thing: I don’t hear hatred from either one of y’all. I hear hurt. Cardi feels misunderstood because she’s been trying to apologize. Latto feels hurt because the apology didn’t erase how the situation made her feel. Y’all have spent more time talking about the situation than talking to each other.
At some point, somebody has to decide whether the goal is to be right or to heal. Because if the friendship meant anything, then a private conversation is worth more than a thousand interviews, tweets, lyrics, or think pieces. And if after that conversation y’all still decide you’re not meant to be friends anymore, at least it’ll be based on the truth and not assumptions.
And this is why education is important: the Republican Party under Donald Trump and the Republican Party under Abraham Lincoln are two very different things.
I know it’s become pretty cliche and cringey to talk about at this point but if you’re under like 25 I cannot stress enough how one time Obama wore a tan suit and people spent a week arguing over whether or not it was demeaning to the Oval Office and they were serious about it.
WAIT??? NOT. Drag queen? Or a lesbian? Or a gay man? Or a non binary?? BUT A STRAIGHT? WHITE? CONSERVATIVE? MAN???? 🥸🥸🥸 hmm HAPPY PRIDE 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
I wish @CNN would have the guts to make a documentary about the Jan 6 people Donald Trump pardoned and the crimes they committed or planned AFTER being pardoned. It is a shocking list for anyone who researches this.
