Diego is my son and sunshine

The Daily Mail is turning Toya Graham into their black friend. You know, the one who says white people can use the n-word and who hates “thugs”. Or in this case, the black “friend” every racist can conveniently pull out to prove they aren’t racist for thinking black people don’t deserve to protest. 

According to the DM, Baltimore Police Commissioner Anthony Batts mentioned Graham’s “heroics” to a press conference which is how she went viral and became “America’s favorite mom”. 

Batts said: ‘In one scene you had a mother who grabbed a child who had a hood on his head and started smacking him on the head because she was so embarrassed… Take control of your kids. This is our city, let’s make a difference.’

Racists on Twitter are applauding her for “confronting injustice” and “removing the hoodie”. 

In reality, Toya Graham was actually just worried that the police would murder her son and would never be held accountable for it. She wasn’t embarrassed. She isn’t pro-police. She’s scared of them. Scared that they will kill her baby.

So yeah, good on her for wanting to protect her baby. He’s her only son, and he’s only 16. Parents should look out for their children.
