McKesson said Bush had ignored his own personal history.

“If free means you’ve gotten something you haven’t paid for, he comes from a legacy — he hasn’t earned the stuff that he has, Mckesson said.

get in their lives. Unless they have more money than the average person.

It's a government job, one of the few color blind jobs there are.

Besides, all the rest of us are on a path to death anyway, and they might have a better chance of survival than civilians, given what is coming down the 'pike.

(Guess I'm not keeping up either )

So...progressoid answered, but in case you want more--

From Wikipedia:

DeRay Mckesson (born 1985 or 1986[1]) is an American civil rights activist. He is a member of the organization We The Protesters, which organizes protests that center on African-American issues.[2] Mckesson is known for his activism via social media outlets such as Twitter and Instagram and has been active in the Ferguson, Missouri and Baltimore, Maryland protests.

Yeah...he nailed it.
