    You mean white lives matter?

    Should we start from the smallest problems or the biggest ones? And as it's been said many times, pretty much none of the items on the agenda of BLM would only help blacks, they'd work against all kinds of excessive police violence.

    I know, entirely possible and the main reason I'm willing to continue this discussion. If you still feel I'm somehow dismissive of racism against whites because I feel it's a far smaller problem than racism against pretty much everyone else, I don't know what to say.

    Well tbh I don't think you are.

    Let me recap:

    Me, poop, oskar, mmm: some fucked up shit against the blacks, cool that something is happening
    You and wuf: but what about the whites
    Me, poop, oskar, mmm: yeah that'll get fixed too
    You and wuf: but what about the whites

I mean poop thinks that saying "white racism is on the increase and is socially acceptable" is a radical thing to say. He thinks that's extreme. It's not. It's an observation.
    After saying like 3 separate times how I acknowledge there's racism against whites, and how I think there's nothing cool or justifiable about that, it's does feel like you're not hearing me at all for some reason.
    Our brains have just one scale, and we resize our experiences to fit.

    We can all speak for ourselves.

    This is not a numbers game.

    Just because we don't have more people here who feel like BLM does not represent them, doesn't mean anything.
