the evolution of a charge: from white privilege to white supremacist

[Spacedog1973]

63. I think you misunderstood the protest

I understand your point, but at the same time think you haven't caught up with social media in this age.

Yes there is an audience directly in front of her. But there is a far bigger audience 'out there', it includes people like many of us who didn't attend, media outlets, YouTube, twitter, facebook etc etc. Picking up a mic in an election campaign means much more than speaking to the audience in front of you.

Your point also misses a huge issue; it assumes that white people lack knowledge of racial inequality, racism, systemic racism, police brutality etc etc.

How could they not know? It's been in the news constantly for centuries in the US in one way or the other. The issue has been presented cordially for centuries. Discussions, marches, black leaders have spoken, written books, given lectures. Movies have been made on the issues over and again.

To be white in america and ignorant of racial strife means either one of two things ; you don't care, or the presentation of the message has bee wrong.

This meme essentially stating 'we need these issues presented to us politely' is weak sauce and simply an excuse. Yes, it highlights that black Lives matter less than emotions and the demand for decorum.

BLM is the result of waiting and waiting and 'doing it the right way' and getting nowhere. When you see something in BLM you don't like, take a step back, take a breath out and think about why they exist and what has brought things to this point.

Its not just police brutality, but ally apathy and to be frank, ineffectiveness.
