We’re in the middle of a global pandemic and just had cities burning over the untimely death of George Floyd so people are feeling quite emotional these days. And by emotional, we mean they’re out looking for blood. Mark Wahlberg has unfortunately found himself in the cross-hairs of the internet wanting him canceled. It started out as a normal day last week when he decided to share a heartfelt message about George Floyd saying, “The murder of George Floyd is heartbreaking. We must all work together to fix this problem. I’m praying for all of us. God bless. #blacklivesmatter ❤🙏❤.” Seems fine, right? Well leave it to the internet detectives to dig up his past from over 3 decades ago.

Back in ’86 he was out chasing black kids shouting to “Kill the n*gger.” And that’s just one of his past hate crimes. Others include throwing rocks at kids on the beach shouting racial slurs and beating up Vietnamese people on the street. Usually when these things happen people have a random N word or some off color joke that comes up. You rarely find a celebrity with that much insanity documented in their history and they still continue with their careers.
So with all of this information out in the open right now, there’s only way sensible reaction, right? And that is to cancel him… at least by the rules of 2020. Is it possible for people to change? Yes and in the past 30 years, one would hope so. Whether you choose to still support him is another story but the fact that he has been able to go through life with this type of poorly kept secret of such magnitude. He at least gets credit from us for attempting to show concern but other than that, Mark, we’re definitely side eyeing you right now.
I dare anyone to google “Mark Wahlberg hate crimes” and see how he TRIED to get those pardoned off his record but didn’t apologize to one of them until he applied for it.. https://t.co/5NrEGYmGK4

Mark Wahlberg hurled rocks at black children while screaming “Kill the n*****s!” He beat a Vietnamese man unconscious and was charged for attempted murder. He’s committed at least 5 hate crimes. He only apologized while seeking a pardon 26 years later. https://t.co/H8q6HZ9nEq
