(10,749 posts)These particular millionaires are not crying that they are oppressed. Hell, I'm sure they're absolutely thrilled at their good fortune to be earning millions. One of them, the guy who started this whole thing, can't even get a job, and he just gave $1 million to the cause.
These particular millionaires, you dumbass, are calling attention to other who really are oppressed and, you know, dead. They want you to think, for just a minute, about the hundreds of African-Americans who are killed by police every year without any penalties. Heck, I'm sure they'd be pleased if you added in others who were shot and/or killed by police, like the autistic person a couple of years back or the deaf person just a few days ago or the LGBTQ woman with mental health issues last week. They want you to pay attention for just a minute to reality, and not the world presented to you by Fox News. Sadly, however, they know you won't give a fuck because you are white and they are not. Because you are white and the victims are not. Because you are white and the police are white.
Of course, there's probably more to your pathetic tale of leaving your job after 30 years. Retirement, maybe? Termination? Just fucking tired of making minimum wage and want to blame someone, preferably someone who's black?
