as though they have "discovered" a new trend
when people of color have been doing it for virtually years?

- Who told you it was okay to touch people
without their permission?

I have a ton of white friends.
- Why do you feel comfortable cursing at your parents?

but can say names like Schwarzenegger, Galifianakis,

but black lives don't?

But so was Selma, and so was Malcolm X.
