In D.C., I saw a white hipster guy wearing a BLM t-shirt holding a sign that said

As a tumblrite...ignore them. A lot of them are teens (the average age for tumblr is 14-18, a 25 year old like me is “old” there) just parroting whichever SJW account they follow and some of those accounts are seriously misinformed and have their own wars with each other (and there are others that are more measured
