I'm not attacking BLM. I support it.

This list however I don't support because the members are from wealthy backgrounds and are being presented as needing extra help.

How is this list presenting these people as needing extra help? They're all on the list because they have successful companies or had successful funding rounds, and also fall in the category of 'female'.

If it was 'top Silicon Valley founders' no one would think 'needs extra help'; if it was 'top Midwest founders' probably HNers would think 'needs extra help'. There's nothing in the article format that says 'needs extra help' -- that idea is brought by the reader.

It's not even a valid observation about BLM.

We're way off topic but again I support BLM and do feel economics play a role.
