Hey guys. So a lot of my post, you know, a lot of people are engaging me in a very positive way, and I appreciate that.

But there are still some African Americans who are jumping on my threads, posting clown emojis and raccoon emojis and whatever.

That doesn't bother me in all. I don't know why you think that bothers me.

Do you know what I do for a living? You know how I've stared at death in the face multiple times.

Do you know how many horrible things that I've seen in 28 years?

You know how many times they get called everything but a child of God?

And you think a little emoji is going to whip me back to the plantation, right?

Get my head right.

I'm going to give you guys some slack today.

Stop with the emojis and with your intelligence, your reason, and rationale from a non-emotional

place.

Can you just explain to me why I'm wrong?

Because not one person out there has been able to explain to me why I'm wrong in my stances.

Well, that is Officer Dion Joseph, and he is an interesting guy with a large following on X, formerly Twitter.

He's got a web page, and while he is a member of a police force in Southern California,

he does not represent them when he makes these statements. He is speaking for himself. But a man of

that stature, both literal and figurative, and of that just total conviction to what he believes,

posts regularly to followers, black and white,

who many applaud him and cheer him on.

And others say, as he just mentioned there, hey, man, get back on the plantation.

His words, not mine.

And yet he sticks to his guns.
