Matt, this is a dishonest take. We all know why a white person being killed by the state doesn't receive the same attention as a black person being killed by the state. Did you take history classes in school or skip 'em?

Do we really need to spell this out? Really... in 2020? https://twitter.com/MattWalshBlog/status/1266715217398030336
Btw, I've heard of those two cases before and they are terrible. However, America has a looooong history of extrajudicially killing black men. There are books and movies and everything!

Both instances are wrong and should never happen, but let's cut the ignorance please.
I mean, that take would make sense if white people had been slaves, and weren't allowed to own property, or had to deal with poll taxes and Jim Crow laws. And redlining, and police officers killing them and dumping their bodies in the swamp somewhere. But it got RT's though so...
