Talk:Lincoln/@comment-98.122.141.206-20160403202031

Last Thursday, me and my 16 yr old daughter turned on the television to watch the 100. (we're POCs and Lincoln is our favorite character). At the end of the episode, my daughter recieved a message: Black men are shot for next to no reason whatsoever in post-apocalyptic worlds too! And after we went online and found out why Ricky left, I had never been more disgusted in my entire life. Lincoln was POC reprensentation, all he wanted was peace, and the only reason he actually died was because he was trying to prevent his people from being executed for running from an open door. My impressionable daughter watched a POC who literally did NOTHING wrong, bleed out in a disgusting pile of mud in one of the most long and graphic scenes I'd ever seen on this show, while the love of his life watched. My daughter was as disgusted as I was. THEN, when I went online and found out why Ricky was forced to leave, I felt even more sick. (Ricky has previously said that Lincoln was his favorite character to play. It's sick that he was bullied from playing someone he loved, IN REAL LIFE.) So, I don't care that some cheesy song played while Lincoln made the "ultimate sacrifice".I care that my voice AND Lincoln's was taken away. I care that minorities are being killed and POC actors are being forced to quit because of racism. What a disgusting world I'm raising a child in.
