Also just because smaller things are happening doesn't mean the real issues arent being talked about. They aren't going to happen overnight so these smaller things are done in the mean time.

And I honestly don't even give enough of a **** to help myself, what makes you think I give enough of a **** to protest or vote? Like, ****, I live in Utah, we honestly don't have most of these racial issues here too often.

Exactly so I really don't get why you feel like you ade above the same people you are calling out. Also, it isn't just about protesting and voting. It is about having conversations with your white peers and calling them out on their bull**** that contributes to these systems overall.

Now who the hell do you think actually gave a ****? The people that put enough thought into it to know what to tell me. Who do you think helped the cause more? The people that actually gave a ****. Maybe it only slightly changed only one person's perception just a little bit, but that one conversation actually added something to help the cause. And me? That's what I've done and have completely given up on because I stopped giving a ****. Got sick of arguing with brick walls that don't give a **** about fixing or helping anything because all they give a **** about is being right and stroking their own cocks for picking side to sheepishly follow.

Those two have more patience to deal with you. I'm not trying to persuade anyone to change their opinion. They are usually stuck in their ways and it doesnt matter what I say when trying to inform them. I just normally agree to disagree and keep it moving. Same thing happens when I get into discussions with Trump supporters.

Thanks for your input as a white man on the black experience and what they go through.
