(135,425 posts)You don't have to "argue" that white men "matter more." That's the damn paradigm. They go first, and everyone else "gets to" follow along behind. If a woman or POC rises up, there's grumbling that they've "jumped the line," or been mollycoddled, or they're "uppity."
It doesn't have to be said--it's FELT.
It wasn't just Trumphumpers who were dismissing/denigrating BLM and women's issues recently.
"In the name of the future" I'll spend my energies working towards that true equality for all Americans, immigrants and refugees--including the black and brown "future majority" of this country -- rather than fighting with someone who wants to pretend there aren't any problems in that regard and that all those white males who want theirs are equally concerned about these issues--because they aren't--otherwise they wouldn't have switched their votes so easily to an orange con-man with piss colored hair.
If you're unclear on the concept, I suggest you have a look at what happened to Senator Warren in the Senate this week (sit down and STFU) --before the So-Called President called her Pocahontas. But no, she wasn't singled out....
What you do in your posts, denying the obvious, helps no one. Here's some light reading that belies your assertions entirely:

I should have just voted to hide your post instead of giving you a chance to explain yourself. Pffft.
