I'm willing, to say the least, to pitch in and hopefully be of some help in rectifying an unacceptable status quo. The vastly higher per capita rate of black deaths at the hands of police is a very real, very serious problem.

Call me a white supremacist and imply that I should basically just shut up and listen instead of being part of the discussion? The only response I will ever have to that will be "go fuck yourself."
