I knew the BLM/ALM divide was going to get heated

Were were you all's outrage when I could of used support? […] We are all of a sudden supposed to believe you care so much when you can not even stand up to bullies on a damn movie forum?
That's exactly what I'm talking about: "What about me?" In what way, shape, or form is your inability to log off when people are being rude to you equivalent to black people being murdered by law enforcement? Get over yourself.

No, Anna, you didn't hit a nerve. Nothing hits a nerve on this board. That's sort of the point I was making when I called out your ridiculous claim that black people being murdered for nothing is in any way related to "bullies" on a message board. You aren't standing up to bullies by feeding forum trolls. Attention is what they want. Ignoring them is the way to go. I don't often click on threads that look like they're going to be an insult-fest, so seeing those sorts of interactions is easy to avoid. People here can stick up for themselves. Marginalised groups in real life can't fix the system by themselves. Perhaps you would know that if you learned to separate the board from reality. If you want to make a difference, stop fighting strangers on the Internet, register to vote, and participate in peaceful protests. Go to town meetings. It doesn't take much, but it certainly takes more than getting into board fights with people who are just trying to mess with you. You have to pick your battles.

I'm not backtracking. You said were where people when you needed help…
I assumed it was bullying…
I shouldn't have even clicked in this thread and commented.
I'm sick of people and this board provided interaction at least?
Fuck everyone. -

I don't care anymore, but thanks.
I have my own opinions and my own values and beliefs.
I use this place when I'm bored for a laugh, not to get into political or personal opinions…I've learned my lesson, thanks.
Nothing is ever gained by going back and forth here… -

— 5 years ago(June 06, 2020 11:36 PM)Police brutality affects black people disproportionately, which is the point you’ve missed completely. This has been true for decades. You can’t seriously believe this issue is the same for white people or you haven’t paid attention to any history in this country.

The resounding effect of the stupidity from one unlawful murder absolutely affects white people in a multitude of ways: but I’m legit the smartest and most unique poster to ever grace these boards my niggga,
