99. I think the continuing dirt digging on Marissa Jenae Johnson is counter productive.

Folks need to let this go.

However you feel about her methods, She did point out several issues regarding 'liberal' cities in the Northwest.
Namely that police brutality against Blacks has reached a breaking point even in liberal Portland where the cops are under Federal oversite.
Also, I think she points out, rightly, that white liberals like to pat themselves on the back for how 'liberal' the areas that they live in are, ignoring the fact that others, in different parts of the same city may be having a completely different life 'experience.'
