I fully agree

To make a blanket statement, (some, not all) White people will protest/riot to virtue signal to the world that they are not racist, but then, if given the chance, will:

block low income housing from being built in their neighborhoods
vote against measures that would increase taxes to fund schools in impoverished communities
i.e. not actually engage in anything that could change the trajectory of people of color
etc., etc.

Those white folks they speak of are ANTIFA, never let ANTIFA in your movement, it destroys your message along with billions in property and revenue loss.

White saviors.

Its what Ive seen on the front line, too.

It turned a lot of the black people in our community away from the movement, which sucks, because they were the ones keeping these little entitled white dickheads in line.

Ignore when people say that the title length is not important, that a title should just convey what the game is about. They're just jealous theirs isn't as long

The accusations I hear is it is either antifa getting involved, because they like to destroy property. Or right wing false-flaggers, trying to make BLM look bad.

White guilt, white savior, etc etc

This

Also, you can't change racism when all criminals go into a system that's ruled by systematic racism in all categories. You got prisoners who only hang out with their race, eat with their race, bunk with their race, and fuck anyone up who tries to break that up. Then they come out of jail/prison and teach that shit to the younger ones.

I honestly don't think racism can be "beat". It's to ingrained into our society and DNA. Even people who don't think they are racist harbors racist feelings and thoughts from time to time. This doesn't make it right, but it kind of "is what it is" as they say.

People don't know how to play their position. They think it's always all about them. Even when it couldn't be less about them.

Occupy Wall Street failed and the white leftists since then have been trying to co-opt the Black Lives Matter movement & expand its goals. Yet again riding on the backs of the hard work by black people.
