I dont feel like the title of this thread is warranted I dont have a strong opinion of Bennett one way or another, but I always hated this argument. Just because a person/company does some good in the public eye doesnt dismiss the bad they do. Nike supposedly does good in the public eye...doesnt mean they are off the hook for exploiting children in sweatshops for the last 40 years. There are MANY rich people/companies who donate tons of a money and "do good".....alot of it is a show to distract from what they really are. Again....I dont know much about Bennett to judge him, but the argument itself is not a good one. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was a good dude for the most part I could be wrong, but if memory serves me right, he felony assaulted an elderly paraplegic woman. Then to try and get out of it, he used the BLM movement and claimed white cops were pointing guns at him. It turns out he completely lied about the cops. It was pretty despicable. But not really something to talk about in this thread. Thats the story I remember, feel free to research it. If I am wrong, someone can correct me via PM.
