I don't agree with this, sorry. It seems subjective.


Theres nothing subjective about the intent between BLM and this, they are clearly different

It's a large question and I'm not sure how much the TOU of GameFAQs-under-CBSi allows us to discuss this, so all I am willing to say is that legitimate polling data shows that a >50% majority of white Americans reported feeling like whites are victims of discrimination back in 2017.

https://www.npr.org/2017/10/24/559604836/majority-of-white-americans-think-theyre-discriminated-against

Needless to say, "more than half of whites in America are EEEVIL NATZEES!" is not a premise that I am willing to sign off on. That is racist; therefore, the truth must be more complex than that.

Just because they feel that way doesn't mean there's any data to back them up.
There's plenty of reasons why opioids are disproportionately killing white people, but one that stands out to me is doctors are more likely to prescribe them to white people because there's still this belief that black and brown people will misuse them/have a greater pain tolerance. White people make up 50.7% of hate crime offenders, and since race is the biggest motivation factor, I'm guessing they're not going after other white people.

The subjective feelings of white Americans backs it up, because it would be unreasonable (and racist) to declare that more than 50% of an entire demographic in an entire country is inherently and irredeemably evil, and necessarily racist. You could argue that their concerns are factually illegitimate, but what you can't do is argue that they're bad people for being ignorant, because then you're essentially saying that they're not allowed to participate in society just like anyone else.

I don't think being a racist is irredeemable or inherently evil though. Hell, there are former white supremacists and Neo-Nazis who are now vocal advocates of social justice.

People love to say things like I cant stand straight white people. and then pretend this kind of retaliation is unwarranted.

We need better communicators behind these movements.


These movements tend to attract fringe right-wing collectivists that live in their moms basements. Theyre ANTIFA for young Alt-Right people that need to allocate their time on more productive things in life.

"They're in their mom's basements, therefore they're neo-nazis" has to be the weirdest flex yet and this has been a long thread

When one posts signs with that statement while black people are being honored for something. Or when known racists do it in general. In this case, known racists posted the statement during an event in which black people were being honored. There is no way this was not racist. I'm a Conservative, and I know that.

It's always okay to be white. It's just never okay to post signs with the statement where black people are being honored.

So, are black people who whine about 'inclusion' also just as racist?

Are there actually people who disagree with the sign? That's what I can't understand... only racists would have a problem with a very simple message like that, since disagreeing with it means you think it's not okay to be white, and thus you have a racial bias against white people...

Yeah putting those signs deliberately in front of black people being honored is antagonistic and uncalled for.

Do you feel the same way about housing ads that explicitly stated 'whites need not apply?' Or when a college student body tried to force all white people off campus, and assaulted white people who didn't leave? Or when BLM demanded white people give them their houses?
