That's the real issue

Your opinion of his intentions and motivations is based off one tweet, how could you possibly know? Would it be fair to ask what personal bias you’re bringing to your interpretation of Walcott’s words? Because as soon as you assume someone’s intentions or base your argument on what you think they’re inferring, that’s obviously at play.
“Feels triggered by how
familiar this
seems.” I’m going to go out in a limb and assume you know what the bolded words mean. What they don’t mean is “this IS the exact same situation.” You won’t disagree and suggest police shooting and killing a Black man feels awfully familiar lately, right? We can both admit that. Not all of those killings were for “no reason.” In fact, few if any were. Some were for no good reason, some were for good reason stemming from a needless situation, some were justified.
Walcott seems like a pretty good guy. I bet you could ask him what he meant instead of getting mad about it.
