    If black people have to constantly address black-on-black crime, then white people need to let us know why Clotheless Karen showed up at a Portland protest for Black Lives: https://bit.ly/2WGangG pic.twitter.com/7ew5Gk7QtX

        Seems like this just diverts attention away rather than bringing attention to the cause. I mean she had no sign and didn't really do anything, she was just naked because of you know BLM?

        Exactly. It downgrades her & diverts attention away, which is also selfish.

        Man, I don't know wtf she's doing. An out-of-towner once asked me what I like about Portland. I had to think about it before answering: "What I like about Portland? Is what I hate about Portland." I know...clear as mud. It's all I got.

        From what I’ve gathered, it’s an artistic showing of the vulnerability of the human body... like, how bare and fragile it is.

        She’s vulnerable alright...to whatever germs on the pavement she put her bare ass on.

        You ever had an exciting thing to tell someone and they respond with their own exciting story instead of being happy for you? That’s how “whites” communicate. It’s a competition to one up others. It’s constant and exhausting.
