Black lives do matter, but when I think of that title, it gives me the vibe that *only* black lives matter. I like: all lives matter. All minorities shouldn't be minorities, there should be no minority/majority. Everyone should be given the same chances no matter their economic status, race, ethnicity, or sexuality.

At the same time I am very white and have not experienced discrimination first hand, I've only heard of people being discriminated against because of their color. Which is ridiculous, but I don't know if that's common

I'm not very educated on many race issues, so could some people educate me?

i agree kinda

i really dont like the BLM movement personally

but thats moreso because im an individualist so i think the individual identity is more important that the group racial identity

dont like group identities

so id be happier with an egalitarian movement that didnt focus on one single race

it shouldn't be just black, what about every other minority? Every one should be given the same opportunities despite their skin tone

Yes

It should be everyone has a chance

yeah, equality of opportunity

Yes

The amount of melanin the skin means nothing to me. Racial and identarian politics are totally nonsensical

Agreed, but they were oppressed for their skin tone for so long

I guess it really matters to them

Yeah but its so utterly pointless to dwell on, if people focused less on things like fucking "reparations" and more on what civil rights was actually about, they'd get so much more accomplished

because one is a noble and justified cause and the other is just absurdity

@Soup Can Sam sometimes you think you know a guy

Huh I guess I'm not as much of an esp as I thought

racial guilt is bad

i never owned a slave

<:shrugko:520245434346635264>

so im not responsible

Focus on fixing poverty regardless of race, focus on fixing real social issues, focusing on educating against discrimination, focus on dealing with legitimate hatred

What's fixing hatred

Or dealing with it

Daryl Davis is a good example of that lmao

That fat blac guy?

Idk I don't know what he does

He's a musician that befriended the imperial wizard of the ku klux klan and over time made him essentially dissolve the Klan simply by engaging with, and showing him that Black people aren't genetically inferior

Open dialogues are the single most important things to solving this issue

OH HIM

I KNOW HIM

he did a ted talk didnt he

I don't think that works on most people
