Jaylen Brown’s recent IG post re: Twitter backlash

What you're saying is true, but that's the reason he shouldn't be doing this. Leaving your communication open to interpretation is a flaw in that communication, but it's literally a feature of social media platforms that prioritize speed and brevity over clarity, and rely on outside context (and consequently bias) to complete the narrative. Ignoring the fact that his argument relies on logical fallacy in being an incomplete comparison, it insults one group as a means of supporting another. His argument is flawed, his method is flawed, and he's insulting. He's not trying to communicate, he's trying to validate his own biases, because that's the point of social media: they monetized validation. That's literally all it's for. He doesn't get it, and now he has to live with the consequences.
