Day 247:
Another white terrorist
Another old white guy killing people, and yet we still don’t see them as dangerous…Look at congress, mostly old white men, look at at wall street mostly old white men, look at the oligarchs, mostly old white men, now look at mass shooters, mostly white men…
Seems to me we have a white male problem in this country. A problem for all of us, and a problem for them as well. The whole system from top to bottom has to be overhauled to be more equitable, and to allow for more freedom.
This will help everyone, including the old white guy, if only he would be brave enough to let it happen. But when you are on the top of the ladder it can be very tempting to burn that fucker down so that no one can climb up after you.
Now more than ever, vote, vote, vote.
