(10,972 posts)You're arguing a story. You're not arguing facts. You don't even acknowledge facts. You cherry pick what suits. I'm challenging you on it. You're not making a single argument against. I admitted, straight up, PoC are killed by police disproportionately, and that's due to the racism inherent in how law enforcement is structured.
And, oh shit! We agree!
What we don't agree on is your agitating, your ignoring facts that run against your narrative, and you're pretending this isn't a larger problem that whites have good cause to be bothered with, too. Because your approach is race-based instead of human-based, and you can value white lives lesser.
BLM because black people are a target in a white society. Yup!
The challenge to you is to see white people as people, and if you activist with that tunnel vision, you don't get it, and you're racist, too. I have had every PoC in my life have me re-examine anything I ever thought.
You have to re-examine, too. Because where you're coming from is not great, useful, or liable to help anyone anywhere.
Edit:
What are you bothering about here? Writing a ton at a lot of much older white liberals who will fall over themselves to prove to you they're "one of the good ones," or do you want me, a Millennial who works hard to make sure we live what we aspire to be. Do you want a +1!!!!!!! or, someone who has a say over hiring processes. Because people in their 70s do not.
