Slack and Flickr co-founder says 'frick you' to WSJ over Charleston shooting

Stewart Butterfield, the co-founder of both Slack and Flickr, has condemned the The Wall Street Journal on Twitter for an editorial it published after the Charleston shooting. The WSJ described the massacre as "a problem that defies explanation" and claimed that "the system and philosophy of institutionalized racism identified by Dr. King no longer exists." Butterfield responded: "Pretending it doesn't exist is, cognitively, really hard work. And it is dishonest and unfair and cruel work too. It's its own violence."
The tech entrepreneur compared the WSJ's editorial with Jon Stewart's Daily Show monologue on the same events. Stewart lamented America's inability to confront the "gaping racial wound that will not heal, yet we pretend doesn't exist," with Butterfield adding: "Acknowledging that we still have a very, very long way to go is literally the least anyone could do." He concludes: "WSJ editorial board: frick you!"

WSJ & SJW acronyms are too similar.

What the WSJ meant was organized and institutionalized racism backed by the force of law, not individual nut jobs or private splinter groups.

This just further illustrates that relatively simple minded people can be wildly successful in this country due to free market capitalism.
