Black Lives Matter directs it's attention towards the policing. We're not talking percentages, because percentages doesn't change numbers. Fact is, white people are killed unarmed at a higher rate than black people in America. No one cares about them. No one's fighting for them.

People focus so much on fucking race. I watched that one with Anton (something, cannae remember his second name) and the comments are ALL race related. Some complete scum white people bringing up the guy's crime sheet like it's relevant. Other people talking about how bad white cops are and how black people can't catch a break. I'm sitting there like "The fuck are you guys talking about? We just watched a video of a man getting murdered and you guys focus on whether or not the murderer is a racist?".

Can you even imagine a White Lives Matter movement? It would be dubbed the most racist thing in history and would end up in a huge fight with BLM turning up to it. You're not allowed to be a non-privileged white person. You're not allowed to be a non-privileged male. Everything you achieve as a white straight cis male is irrelevant because the world handed it to your feet.

It's just funny that @Esso's mentality is that of most. Tell him he's getting the world handed to him as a male and that females are oppressed, and he says "That's bullshit"...yet he claims the exact same stuff that white people get the world handed to them and black people are oppressed.

Some people face some horrific racism out there...but racism isn't even the tip of the ice berg of serious problems in the world anymore.
