I thought he was in jail.

His case went up on appeal and I cited it a few times. Didn't know he was released.

He pays for 20 women purely for publicity... Nice.

I'm sure those fathers in jail don't need to see their sons for Christmas. Like he claimed he relates to...

Blatant appeal to emotions, like come on dude.

I was not honestly.

I thought his sentence was something fairly lengthy and his appeal denied.

Given the fact I handle almost exclusively drug distribution and domestic violence cases now, I had no reason to.

Then back to rapping about murder and selling drugs

Ive volunteered for food bank collection charities for 4 years, rescued stray kittens thrown outside of cars(mind you one time event) , regularly in donate blood (only stopped because of medication). Oh, and though not human, I've been looking into volunteering with Last Chance animal rescue but my schedule is inconsistent, so I've been hesitant since I can only go occasionally maybe once a month.

But you've prove you point. Good job.

I'm flattered that you think so.

It's not even like I'm saying what he's doing is a bad thing. Just pointing out it's a publicity stunt to promote himself makes it seems pretentious.

It's essentially like those tiktokers who do charity for clout and views.

> They are in jail for a reason

That reason is that they don't have enough money to pay bail.

Your scrooge-like insistence that the poor deserve it has been noted, but I don't think any ghosts are coming to redeem your worthless ass

I just hope they’re in jail for like, weed or something and not some shit like domestic abuse

Bail is such a fucked up concept. Just another way we punish people for being poor

Looks like you and him are even. You aren’t rapping about murder and selling drugs so I guess in your eyes that’s (good). But then you’re not going back to helping 20 people. Shame

No shit. Which is why I didn't want to say it because it's a predictable response. That's why I originally refused the most copy pasted. Yet here you are attempting to find a flaw as well and calling me a hypocrite for it.

If I didn't respond, you'd respond with what this guy said " can't even list one thing".

If I did you'd respond how you did. What a joke critical thinking isn't your strong suit.

No shit. See? It's exactly why I pointed out he did it for his own promotion. Your response is the exact reason why he only chose women instead of inmates in general despite the fact that he said he related to the experience. Because if someone pointed it out the exact conversation we are having is the only outcome.

He's inciting the publics general feelings of protection that intantilizes women, based on internalized misogynistic practices to promote his album in a way that can't be critiqued.

You are not informed well. This time it was women. Other times it’s been men, other times it’s been both. You are weird for hating on this story, and even weirder going so hard to defend it. Be good out there little man.

Cool. Then inform me. Show me where he did this act for only men.

Show me where he did it for both. Or infact anyone did.

I'm just pointing out it's a designed publicity stunt, and it's frankly entertaining to see people try to say it isn't.

I’m not showing you anything. Could care less to inform you. Just pointing out that you sound like a hypocritical bum who cares not to inform himself but cares deeply enough to call someone out for helping people.

It's because you can't find it. Nah I'm calling out someone exploiting people to promote their brand and new album.

Meek Mills does charity which is respectable. Doing it in a blatant way to promote an album isn't. It's a tacky PR stunt along the lines of tiktokers who do this shit for clout.

I’m not even searching for it, you either know or you don’t, you don’t and choose not to inform yourself.

You can call it tacky all you want. At least he’s not lying about helping people like you are.

The conditions poor people live in are the cause for the crimes they commit. On top of that, rich people or even just middle class people can have the same charges but not have to wait in jail because they can pay.

Whether Meek Mills is racist or not, or if he is a member of the band or not; a guy who spews Turkophobia 24/7 should have no place to say anything about racism.

Not even a history of genocide can save your hypocrisy here.

If you cry about racism, do not show contempt and hatred against other nations. If you dislike an ethnicity, then you should shut up about racism~ since it will bite your back if so.

Consider it like this. Wage theft is the largest form of theft in the country by a country mile. But, it's not considered a crime. It's only a civil infraction unless you can prove a fraud charge which is extremely challenging and costly. In other words, an employer can take hundreds of K or even millions out of their peoples' pockets and not be in serious trouble for it.

Going up to a person, a store, an ATM, whatever and taking any amount of money is a serious criminal infraction, on the other hand. Even with no weapon and no threat of force, it's treated that seriously. And I think you and I would probably agree that that's good! We should prosecute theft and robbery severely. But why, then, don't we treat wage theft even close to the same standard? The impact is certainly much wider and more severe.

It's one example among many of how the same behaviors from a poor community are prosecuted much more deeply than those from wealthy communities and businesses.
