Lets have a thought experiment about Seattle. [View all]

I go to the next BLM rally. I storm the stage and wrestle the microphone away from the eldery African American speaker and start yelling right in his face. I then start ranting about gay rights and calling everyone in the room a homophobe.

Why are people upset at me?

Is it

A. They secretly are homophobes and aren't willing to listen to my very important message. They are clearly all just fragile heterosexuals who can't deal with the truth.

or is it

B. I am acting like a gigantic jerk.
