Welcome, ACLU
Although I think the American Civil Liberties Union is incredibly valuable and I&#x27;m glad they have a lot more money now to fight for the American people, I&#x27;m questioning all of this.<p>Where was the outpouring of funding when black people were being gunned down by cops from West Coast organizations? Where has YCombinator been as our own impoverished African-Americans are getting slaughtered in the streets of Chicago? Why weren&#x27;t we funding the ACLU to help these people? I haven&#x27;t seen Google talk about this, or AirBnB offer support to widows of veterans whose spouse commits suicide and has left them with nothing.<p>I feel for immigrants from war-torn countries, especially having been there myself. Maybe I&#x27;m too cynical and look at these moves (AirBnB, Uber, Google, etc...) as marketing moves. I wish we cared more about homeless people, people in West Virginia and Kentucky who have lost their jobs and got drenched in opiates without any protests from anybody, or veterans who can&#x27;t pay their VA bills. Idk.<p>I know this comment will be unpopular, and that&#x27;s ok. I tend to care more about those who I feel (whether true or not) are being left behind because that&#x27;s who I am.
