"... to be treated as individuals. That's not racism, just the truth. They only care about each other. Only a few dozen were killed by cops last year. There are bigger issues in the world than individual incidents of racism. It doesn't happen on a systemic level, and certainly not only against black people. Stop parroting popular, peer-approved opinions"

Well, that is true. Police are bloodthirsty against citizens of all skin colors. BUT, police brutality specifically murder happens to black citizens at a significantly higher rate; 2-3 times that of white citizens.

They all want to not be killed, I guess.

There is no "would of", "should of" or "could of".
There is "would've", "should've" and "could've".

That all black people think the same ie: BLM and "all of them" acting like victims and feeling like no one else's life matters besides black one. "They never protest black on black violence or other people's problems, but one black person gets killed by a bad cop and there they go"

Normally I'm opposed to the black community being presented as a monolithic hivemind, but i feel like they're pretty united on this issue.

like as if black people acted in total unison, as a single entity. which is a completely asinine thought, obviously.

I once read a LinkedIn article written by a black woman who said "we are not a monolith" and then went on to describe all of her opinions and experiences in the first person plural. Wish I could find it.

"If they care so much then why are rich athletes only telling me how oppressed they are when a white cop shoots a black man they have nothing in common with?"

I feel like a lot of this is just stemming from media oversaturation. We have watched movies like Get Out, talked about how stupid Confederate sympathizers are, and generally how shitty the system can be all the time without loud arguments.
