If it was them you could have died! And it wasn’t them and you could have died! For what? We’ve all been acting like this is normal, holding our breath for months, this isn’t normal.
So imma say this and just get it out of the way now, cause I know I’m gonna see a lot of it.
Non Black Chris Evans Fans, I highly recommend you not bring up Chris’ tweet about Botham Jean and Amber Guyger’s sentencing. This is not your lane to discuss.
There are some people who are mad at Chris for calling the display beautiful. Some folks will agree and some will not. Sure the act of forgiveness is beautiful and it takes a lot of strength to be able to forgive, let alone hug the police officer who shot your brother in cold blood. But not all of us have the capacity or the capability.
Black lives have been snuffed out by cops since their creation. After all police forces were made to chase down slaves here in the states. Our history and relationship runs deep and there’s a lot of blood there today. Black people always have to forgive, they always have to put aside their hurt while the white people that hurt them get off with a slap on the wrist.
Botham’s family chose to forgive. Whether or not you agree is up to you, I know I couldn’t do it. That doesn’t make me a bad Christian or anything like that. But I will not comfort someone who will forever cause me pain, while they’re only punished for maybe ten years.
But my message here is to not try to shut down or argue with the black voices that may be discussing this. It’s not your lane and it is most certainly not your pain. There’s gonna be people who will agree or disagree with Chris’ words, but at the end of the day, this wasn’t really his lane either.
A white police officer broke into a black man’s home, shot him and killed him. And not only does she get a light sentence after crying and using tactics like self loathing, but she was comforted by the family, by a baliff, and even the judge hugged her (which is unprofessional and not at all okay. That is a different matter than the family choosing to hug her.) So if you go on Twitter to check out that thread, do it I encourage the read. But do not try to tell black fans of Chris how to feel either way when it comes to this subject. It is not your place.
Instead, I will Be posting some educational links, to go further into why I’ve said what I’ve said in hopes that it helps put into perspective why Chris is getting some flack for this.

Everyone else, kindly, stay in your lane.
