(34,648 posts)How is that helpful? Democrats are supposed to be the ones who give a shit. If black lives matter they matter no matter what, we do not see candidates saying enough about racism and the structural systematic abuse and white supremacy in this nation and it's systems. It don't matter whether we are rich or poor, smart or stupid, strong or weak, we are abused by this nation daily and jobs for youths won't do a damn thing to fix it. You're upset by this? Imagine how upset millions of black people are on a daily basis that their lives are worthless to America. Imagine that load on your shoulders and looking at your child knowing that they WILL be abused. If they are killed it will be their fault. That you even have to come up with a phrase like 'black lives matter' to try to convince your fellow man that you are human, not an animal. Of course your minor inconvenience of dealing with this terrible trauma of speech interruptions must be more significantly damaging to your psyche than the actual racism is to those protesters.
I'm feeling so bad for you right now. Tearing up.
