Adam B. Coleman, Proud Father & Imperfect Man

Hey @Support I literally censored the graphic books and I get hit with this. I've seen and heard way worse things on this platform and they don't get hit with an adult content warning. And, I don't have a way to dispute it. Both film trailers I made were censored. The other one just had trucks crashing and I got hit for violent content. Unbelievable.

Actually... I think I went to that festival years ago by accident. May 2, 2018

Communists understand public perception and they exploit our weaknesses for their gain. They understand that you can change the world with narrative, not reality, which means truth is arbitrary to the end goal of social change or demoralization. When watching the riots in Europe, people often don’t understand why the police force won’t go a step farther in its use of force to bring an end to the unrest. The simple answer: Perception. A thought experiment: Can an unarmed person be dangerous? Logically, yes they can, and I think most people can understand how, depending on the situation. However, emotionally, and with certain optics, them being unarmed disarms our logic and we stop perceiving them as dangerous when their opposition is well equipped. There are several strategies at play with the riots happening in Europe that allow the malicious people to seemingly get away with destroying society. First is a process of building and hijacking. There must be an innocent-sounding reason for there to be people who are upset, one that gains the sympathy of the public but most of all the mainstream media. In Europe, no matter which network you’ll watch, they will give the rationale for chaos as being connected to cost of living and educational standards. The media sets the stage for excuses for why windows are broken, buildings burn ablaze, and neighborhoods look like war zones. Then the hijacking begins... Let’s say that the initial reasons are due to educational standards and they are innocent in their origin; the communists will latch onto it like a leech and suck the goodwill dry for their need to demoralize. Whether it’s the George Floyd riots or the riots happening in Europe, there are always non-violent protests that happen first and then terror that follows. This is purposeful, as all reporting will say that there are “mostly peaceful protests,” which is a preferable soft-language tactic that hides what it really is: a communist uprising. The police won’t use extreme force because the narrative is against them; hence the perception of armed men and women with guns pointed at people who are upset about classroom sizes will always stand against them. The U.S. has tons of guns in circulation and the communists could easily arm themselves and get into shooting battles with the police. They could easily decide tomorrow to start an all-out assault en masse against the government. However, doing that turns the public against them and the narrative will be that they are violent terrorists, not concerned citizens who want “social justice.” They understand that they can do low-level aggression for hours upon hours, days upon days, as long as they don’t cross that line. If you watch footage, you’ll see Antifa with umbrellas on sunny days. They use that as a low-impact aggressive weapon that they can open and push into the faces and bodies of people repeatedly. I’ve seen videos of a line of Antifa with black umbrellas setting up a wall to charge the police with, and they will never be shot at because of it. Because who wants to be known as the cop who shot some idiot with an umbrella? That will be the perception and it will always work in their favor. Trust me, communists love having martyrs in case someone in law enforcement makes a mistake. The perception will be that this person was a mother, father, son, or daughter who was just “protesting” for “social justice” and “the system” killed them for standing up for the greater good. Their deaths will be flaunted as a reason to tear apart our society and demoralize us further, pushing us one step closer to the revolution that communists want. Communists don’t need everyone to join their cause; they just need the majority to do nothing when they begin the takeover. When they say our society sucks because of X reason, they just need you to nod in agreement. Repeating their slogans from the comfort of your home and being comfortable with their vision is enough for them. You’ll be inundated with riot videos and the police will respond the same way every time. They will let low-level terrorism occur because they can’t afford the perception of appearing as a heavy-handed police state that shoots unarmed people for being upset about how things are run. The hijacking of movements is key for them to gain leverage and coverage to riot. If they just chose a random Tuesday to burn down a building, they would be exposed and easily labeled as a malicious force. The protester cover is a blanket that hides their motives and keeps us comfortably believing that communism is dead. Maybe it’s the post-Cold War feeling that communism is somehow dead and that any mention of it is hysterics. The communist will always walk that tight line because they know how weak we are at examining the context surrounding violence in the West, especially when law enforcement is involved. I’m not advocating for the shooting of people on the streets, but what I am saying is that we’ve lost the ability to think critically about situations involving violence when there is a lopsidedness in ability to use force. And the communists know this. They will always use our weaknesses against us and lie for the sake of gains in public perception.

As parents, we are sacrificing ourselves for our children because that's how we show that we love them. But you're allowed to be absolutely selfish. You get to weaponize children too in this society...use them as pawns to hurt someone else. It's motivated by hatred, not love.

Last night, I spoke at my church about how family separation impacts children and how Western culture rewards parental selfishness. I recorded it. I'll publish it online soon.

This weekend, I met my father for the first time in Dallas, Texas, and it truly marked a new chapter of unification with someone I should have known from the beginning. Everyone has asked me how it felt to meet him and there is only one answer: Whole. Since discovering that the man who I thought was my father wasn't, after an Ancestry test, I've been through a range of emotions in a very short amount of time. I remember staring at my phone for probably 20 minutes trying to make sense of what I was seeing, only to finally accept that my father is someone else. For a few days after this, I went from being shocked to confused about my identity. The man who I thought was my father was a Trinidadian immigrant and even though he wasn't active in my life, I thought I was half Trinidadian. I spent years finally accepting who I was and my circumstance, all for it to be untangled in a matter of minutes. I was an abandoned child but I wasn't even sure who abandoned me. Who in fact was responsible for my creation? I want to emphasize that my outcome is, by the grace of God, the best possible outcome that could have happened. You hear the stories about families wanting nothing to do with the child who is looking for answers and a connection. I approached it with the lowest possible expectation and received the opposite. I was accepted immediately by my family. My cousins weren't just cousins by blood but by action. My uncle quickly turned into a mentoring male figure who is always available. And then of course my father has done everything that I wanted as a father in the short time of knowing him. He calls and texts me at least once a day. He's answered all of my questions with honesty and has shown me nothing but love. As a 42-year-old man, I require a different type of father than what I would have needed as a child. And if I'm honest, I'm still figuring out what it means to be an adult son with a caring father. This entire experience has made me realize that I grew up tolerating a half-state of existence instead of a whole one. In terms of family, I only knew my mother's side and I just got used to this reality. Now having a large family embrace me on my father's side, I realized that I lived my entire life not being made whole. I always talked about the impact of not having my father active in my life but I didn't realize what I was missing by not having my father's family too. However, I'm not angry at anyone or resentful. I was able to withstand this experience and stand strong enough to talk about something that most people run away from. God has given me the strength to overcome my circumstance and not turn into a negative statistic. Instead, I've used my story to help and critique culture in hopes of preventing another childhood circumstance like mine. I am thankful that I learned of his existence while he's still alive to embrace me. He's 76 and I have no idea when it will be his final day on this earth. If I'm honest, I feel like I have so little time to make up for the 42 years I've lost. I'm going at a comfortable pace and I am grateful for the opportunity to have him in my life. It sounds weird to say after all of these years of being neglected by a father figure: I have a father who actually cares about me. I wouldn't change anything about my past and there is no point in crying about this. But there is a future I can forge with him, as I am planning to see him again before the end of the year. No regrets or animosity. I am whole now. All Glory to God.
