One person who passed away today was Kevin Samuels. He led a controversial life. Samuels lived in the Atlanta area as a businessman and a person who issued views on relationships. Samuels was slicker and more sophisticated than Tommy Sotomayor (who is so evil that he mocks the deaths of innocent black people in his videos. Don't forget that Tommy mocked and celebrated the death of Kenneka Jenkins, and Tommy said that he wanted more George Zimmermans to harm black people), but his views that he said were not only repugnant. They have caused tensions among men and women that fueled the white racist-invented gender war nonsense (in our generation). Many are celebrating his death. I don't believe in celebrating his death as that is cruel, but it is important to expose his appalling views in order to inspire present and future generations to go on the right path. We should never glorify his death as we shouldn't use the same tactics of evil people to disagree with one person. We can disagree with another person's views without cruelty.
It is ironic that Kevin Samuels showed a lack of empathy for men and women who are impoverished, lonely, poor, and suffering on many occasions, but his deluded supporters (like Anton Daniels) want us to support his misogynist, classist, and ageist rhetoric. No, we won't embrace his obscene rhetoric, but we still will possess our empathy at the same time.
Kevin Samuels used disrespectful language against black women who disagree with him (like calling unmarried women over 35 years old "leftovers"), called plus-sized women out of their names, and defended domestic violence against women (in what he calls "domestic discipline"). He compared women to a number scale and constantly critiqued the clothing, physical appearances, and other aspects of women (Kevin even giggled about believing in the slanderous lie that black women are not as beautiful as other people. To me, black women are the most beautiful human beings on Earth period). Comparing women to a number scale is the essence of sexism or misogyny. In one video, Samuels compares a Black woman’s physical appearance to former NFL players Emmitt Smith and Barry Sanders, which was wrong and evil. See, I know how these manosphere types (like the sick duo Fresh and Fit dehumanizing black women) act. Kevin also told a person that if a child said that he or she was molested, you don't necessarily have to believe that child. Samuels also said that a woman can desire a relationship with a man who cheats on her. He divides humans into high-value and low-value people which is antithetical to equality as all humans are created equal in the image of God. These are his words, and they are part of his legacy. I feel for his child and his family. His passing is a terrible event and a tragedy. I certainly disagree with his views. Kevin's family deserves compassion during this time. The sad part of Kevin Samuels is that he never had time to wake up. His mother only knew of the news from social media. I feel for his mother. He passed away at the age of 56 with heart problems. Ortencia Alcantara (or the nurse) identified Kevin Samuels. Samuels complained of chest pains. What must be done is for us to find the exact cause of his passing, promote a culture of empathy including compassion, and create healing among everybody in our community to establish fundamental solutions (in creating black liberation for real).
