RE: Why Poor Whites and Anarchists Should Support Black Lives Matter

The point is the issue IS about equality/inequality, but not between the races. You are jumping to a false conclusion for most of these incidents.

It's about power and the inequality between those in power and those under their power.

Any movement that makes this anything else is just being used as a pawn and is guilty of the same injustices they claim to stand against.

If you are viewing this through a colored lens, you too are part of the problem.

Sort:  

I would argue that refusing to see race when clearly others are using race in their decision making is where the race filter is being applied.

Then we'll never get past this difference.

The minority hate for these reasons, but the majority is using them to keep old wounds open. This majority is what's keeping us from moving forward.

Biases will always exist on all sides and won't go away, but magnifying those biases beyond what they are keeps the monster going and furthers the divide.

If you don't want color to be a factor, quit making it a factor. I'm saying that those against racism, yet invoke it unnecessarily are the ones giving it more power than it has or deserves.

It won't be defeated and is necessary for freedom. You need both extremes to have everything in between. And... No matter how hard you try, we will have both and everything between.
