#VoiceYourOpinion | Are you GUILTY by ASSOCIATION ? #SaySomething #Guilty #News #UpToNoGood #AssociationFallacy
And I'm sure if it was a maid in his home and some of these things were happening, the maid probably turned a blind eye to it because she just didn't want to be in it. She didn't want to be associated with it. But if she turned a blind eye, she saw it. Right? So that's guilty by association. According to what it really says about being guilty by association
You, man, this is a good one. This is a great one. This is one. You can be guilty by association, and I dodged it by the skin of my teeth. Everybody, I'm here to tell you that right now I'm going to take you on a journey. And I'm not going to use names. I'm just going to say my best friend. Me and my best friend. I had a very rough childhood

I mean, you have friends in your life that you kick, get with, and then you have that one friend that if you needed to do something, they'd be like, okay, what time are we leaving? What time are we riding? That's the kind of friend. But you have to pick them, and you have to be careful, because the life that they lead could draw you into the web of deception as well. And I love how you said that we're all criminals

You. Hi, friend. I just wanted to say, there's a saying in Spanish that goes. Cantu peka ilke matalavaka como keleapata. Meaning, he who kills the cow sins as much as he who. Who holds the leg. Who grabs the leg. So just wanted to leave that here. Bye

I feel if you saw something happening and you didn't do anything about it, like on anonymous tip, anything about it to make it better, you watch someone suffer, I feel like you're going to get you just desserts that you're going to suffer. But I know that not all people are in a position to tell everything, but you should say something. You should do something. If you see something, say something
I would have let go of that cow's leg years ago, man. Something about when a woman. Something about when women come clean and they just lay it on you, even when you just say that, it was like saying the words that you said, just reading it that way. I let go, and it felt like I let go of that cow's leg immediately. I was like, oh, goodness. I'm still holding on to the cow's leg
I don't know what it was about them, but I have realized that I have been holding into that cow's leg and I simply have to let it go. And I appreciate that. I appreciated having a woman come into my life, a spanish woman storm into my life and say, mijo, slap me upside the head. I love you, dear. Wherever you are, I hope you find blessings in your life. Thank you. Thank you for giving me those words

I know. It was very profound. Like, she said that. I mean, she did that because saying that was so on time to what we're talking about right now, that you're just as guilty as anyone else. Even if you didn't participate in the deed, the fact that you allowed the deed to happen, or in some way interfered where someone couldn't help that person, you're just as guilty. So, yeah, I enjoyed that. I really did. From her

And I came back to listen. You know, I am on this whole leading an authentic life journey, and who cares what people think and don't judge people and so on and so forth. I would be remiss to not take this opportunity to tell you that I couldn't stand it when my parents did it to me. However, I'm definitely about to do this to you, is I forbid you to hang out with this guy

Thank you so much. I know exactly how you feel. My mom would always tell me, girl, no, you're not going to hang with them, period. If I see you over there, you know what's going to happen, and I'll be like, but, mom, I'm a good girl. I'm not going to get any trouble. She said, no, you are. Because birds of a feather flock together. They're going to want to do stuff

You can't be on two sides of the same coin. Maybe you can, but you can either be one side or the other. It really depends on the context. But I guess in terms of guilty by association, for me with this one, I'm kind of conflicted by it because it doesn't serve people. I don't know, like me. Speaking for myself, I don't want to include you

Like I said, there are a lot of people in prison right now because they were hanging out with the wrong people at the wrong time. And then sometimes they didn't even do anything. But proving that being black is hard because we're sometimes already guilty before we even get to court. At least that's how the system sees us sometimes. So thank you so much for your insight. I really appreciate
