Bwahahahaha! ACLU = White Supremacist! What a bunch of clueless assholes.

♫Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about a science book,
Don't know much about the french I took
But I do know what peers told me
So I’m an expert on ACLU

Obtuse. You are aware she is referring to the BLM movement at large, not the cherry-picked sample you're flaunting because it engaged your confirmation bias. Let's agree to be more responsible and not disingenuously try to smear broad groups of people with inflammatory misrepresentations.
