It Aint Just The Johnsons: Part 2
Manage episode 286621290 series 2868268
In this episode, we continued a discussion on "Strange Things About The Johnsons". This time, we directed our efforts on one scene where it shows the level of secrecy family members or loved ones will go through just to save face at the expense of the victimization of those they say they love.
Excerpt:
"When you are silent having knowledge that an abuser victimized someone, YOU ARE COMPLICIT. Period. You're telling these predators that you are in agreement with their bullshit ass nasty ass perverted ass behavior. No offense, but praying by itself won't fix the problem. While you and your folks are praying, these predators are PREYING and exerting power over others. It's an epidemic we need to acknowledge and stop protecting these folks and "family names" over the well-beings of our future generation."
