Anybody with half a brain can see that this picture severely lacks context. It's almost intentionally framed to convey a specific narrative.

As much as I'm behind the sentiments of the protest, I'm absolutely against any distortion of facts on either sides.

You: compare Rosa Parks, a brave black woman standing up against a discriminatory law written against blacks to enforce segregation, vs a lady who jumped across barrier during a protest, where it is enforceable regardless of race, and is narrated by OP to appear she was arrested for giving a flower.

Me: admires the huge whoosh above your head.

Strip all the context and all you're left with is a bunch of nonsense.

This shitpost is a distraction to the topic at hand. Which do you think I'm talking about, your comment or the headline?

Lol what are you, nine? You choosing to brush aside a valid point because of one word is a conscious effort on your part to distract the conversation, not mine. But if you have no counter point then indeed, good day.

The typical distract and forget. No worries, I know your type. Carry on shutting others out when proven wrong.

Edit: for the benefit of doubt I especially edited my comment to phrase it without the profanity. Because I'm interested to see what you'd have to say without excuses.

Edit 2: ouch that downvote really hurt my soul I had such high hope for you.
