[div class="excerpt"What are you bothering about here? Writing a ton at a lot of much older white liberals who will fall over themselves to prove to you they're "one of the good ones," or do you want me, a Millennial who works hard to make sure we live what we aspire to be. Do you want a +1!!!!!!! or, someone who has a say over hiring processes. Because people in their 70s do not.

Wow, ageism tossed in with snide remarks that we elder white people fall all over ourselves proving we are "one of the good ones". We don't have to say anything. We are one or we are not. Fact is we were the ones voting when you did not.
or do you want me, a Millennial who works hard to make sure we live what we aspire to be. Do you want a +1!!!!!!! or, someone who has a say over hiring processes. Because people in their 70s do not.
So it is all about you and you want to toss the rest of us away? You alone, as millennial works hard to make sure we live what we aspire to be? Welp. I guess us old people need to sit down and shut up. So you want a +1!!!!!!, because you have a say over the hiring process? Hon, the American people have a say over the hiring process to the most important job in the land. That job is The President of the United States and you will never take my vote from me.
It is sad that you had to derail a thread about BLM to say ALM.

Peyton Ham, the white 16yo pointed a gun (turned out to be a realistic fake) at the cops, was shot,

Now we know why the poster didn't want to write about it, but just refer to it

the 'what about the white people' gambits I see here on occasion often remind me of MRA ploys

There are reasons they don't get as much coverage and there aren't protests around them

The poster said 'white kid' which a 16yo is. The Portland victim was an adult.

Apparently, cops giving money to murderers isn't against any laws or regulations.
