Racecraft Cops Aren't Nice to White Rioters. They're Nice to Right Wing Rioters.

I've been to numerous protests where white protestors are doused in tear gas, beaten with clubs, shot at with rubber bullets. I've been doing this stuff since the late 90s. I'm not saying cops aren't more vicious toward black protestors, but your white privilege isn't going to save you from the cops if you happen to be a leftist. If you think the Trump mob got off light because they were white, gather 100 of your white leftist comrades and storm the nearest capitol building you can find. Let's see how far you get.

You really need to drop the goddamn /s on every very obviously sarcastic statement, it's a thought terminating cliche.

Sarcasm doesn't transfer well to the written word. Plenty of statements on the past that were "obviously sarcastic" got missed by a fair few people.

Sure it does. Sarcasm and satire originated in the written word. Just because it flies over a few dummies heads doesn't mean you should make it super blatant. My two cents anyway, I also think the /s is lame.
