My mom's not racist she just didn't know OK!!?? This topic is a direct response to the Facebook post she shared I just know it...

lmao if i had a nickle for every damn time I've seen responses like that, I'd have a shit ton of nickles.

But seriously, I personally know some white friends of mine that are losing relationships with relatives and even their own parents. It's sad that it's getting to this and I feel for them but they understand right from wrong and somehow were able to distance themselves from their parent's racism. I applaud these people for their courage.

It's not a hypothetical to say there are most races hate each other. You can certainly say there has never been any governmental racism from black people to white, Asian, or Latino people, but that doesn't mean there isn't vile hatred from those communities towards each other.

If you don't have proof of this, then its hypothetical.

I'm confused. Are you doing the dumb redefinition racism route, or do you think that other races somehow all love each other? It's kind of just simple logic that most races will have a proportional amount of minor racial biases and outright racism. There will obviously be regional discrepancies depending on which country, but not sure what else you could be thinking. We can say some forms of racism are worse than others, but every race has its racists.

I love how I'm being accused of being a contrarian and a diehard centrist at the same time.

One of those popularist contrarians you hear about. That agree with the majority by disagreeing with the majority.

It's not racist. It's ignorant.

I feel like saying it if it were attached to something meaningful might make sense.

Like saying law enforcement needs to be respectful to all civilians, not just handle with care when dealing with minority communities (and, in some ways, this actually holds water since Islamic and Hispanic suspects have faced unjust treatment in the hands of law enforcement and are subject to their own forms of racial profiling).

But that isn't why people are saying it, they just feel targeted by black communities finally having enough and demanding police stop mistreating them.

Wasn't Black Lives Matter on the ground for all of those?

Yes, they absolutely were. For literally every one of them

Where I come from, without proof, you're simply expressing hypotheticals.
Carry on with your "logics".

Still confused as to what you're arguing. Do you think a black person has never said a racial slur towards an Asian or Latino person, or do you think that is not racism because of the "racism needs power behind it" nonsense?

The population is also 75% white.

Also you're wrong. In 2019 it was 370 white guys shot to 235 black guys shot by police.

That's not twice as many.

I will respond to more later when I have time but I said unarmed people. There were 21 unarmed white people killed by police in 2019 compared to nine unarmed black people. It doesn't make up for the population percentages but there are still twice as many unarmed white people killed as there are black people.

So why aren't you out there protesting too?

Again "You need to do research and educate yourself on our movement, we say X but we actually mean Y" is such a bad approach.

It's one of the reasons why the movement never goes anywhere or accomplishes much

No, you are the reason the movement never accomplishes much because of what you are doing here. Being ignorant on purpose.

What do you mean? Do you think I am white?

That is one of URs favorite ways to be a contrarian.

Blocked that guy like a year ago and it's been smooth sailing since

Some people seriously think #BlackLivesMatter means "only Black lives matter" which is 100% wrong. Even worst when you educate someone about this and they still deny it.

Nice try. People say all lives matter because many for BLM are "not" simply implying "black lives ALSO matter", but rather are totally disregarding things happening to others. For instance the media is not even covering the deaths caused by protesters.
