That's not how it works. It doesn't matter that shr was raised by her mother. I bet she was still treated differently and had to experience all the bull**** prejudice that comes along with being black especially if she was raised in a neighborhood that didn't have many minorities.

Talk is cheap sure, but it's what we're discussing right, internet sjw are not taking that much action irl for African Americans either

However, a considerable amount of some sort of white liberals showed up to protest the building of oil pipes over native lands as authorized by Trump
Redskins thing is ANOTHER example of a superficial battle.

And no, there isn't that many. Or I'd see it way more often.

Other than all of the marches. I didn't say internet SJW. I feel as though a lot of these people are bandwagon cause hoppers. Like the people who did the occupy protest and quickly moved on from that cause like a month later. These things come in trends. What's trendy now, being ultra PC and it's much easier than actually doing something. A good way to tell that somebody doesn't give a **** about their cause is when they act like holier than thou narcissists about it. Like, both sides of this ****ty culture war has lumped me in with the other side for calling them out on bull****. It's like I'm not aloud to think critically for myself, I have to let these people think for me. That's some kind of hive mentality **** people do just to fit in. And I get ****ing spit on or harassed because I don't fully understand something or I think something is retarded or because I think racism towards white people is valid racism. It's not all of them, but it is a considerable amount. Those people, I don't think actually care. It's like, in any culture you get people that will try to out do each other and those are usually the fakest people that don't truly understand the culture. Elitist *******s. Goths try to out dark each other, emos will try to out whine each other, juggalos try to out filth each other, and it certainly happens here in this culture by people who don't give a **** and it's fairly toxic to the liberals. Like, I understand tearing down statues of confederate soldiers but if you actually know American history pretty much every ****ing leader we've had from early on was a raging bigot. It's a battle not worth fighting. It's superficial. What's not superficial? The fact, if I remember right, that Native Americans get killed by police at a much higher rate than any other race in America right now. Or that our prison system is set up to keep black people in jail working for private companies because it's become more of a business than a rehabilitation center.

I'm sure a considerable amount did show up. But probably not nearly as much as any of the other things that's been going on and not nearly as many people talked about it.

Art Is Dead. Buy My ****.

^ You get to sit back and complain that so and so isn't doing enough for your liking but you aren't doing a damn thing yourself to attack systemic issues. You are just complaining about people that don't agree with you and your unpopular opinions. Sounds like a whole bunch of whining without backing it up with action.

I am actually but even if I wasn't.

I'm not the one holding up certain standards against what others should be doing. Claiming they should be being more than they are.

I'd love to hear what he's doing if anything to combat these systemic issues that he's concerned with or just stating he is for the sake of complaining about others not doing enough.

Agreed but what usually happens is the person calling out the bigot gets into an argument with the other person that believes it wasn't even a racist thing that was said or that they shouldn't be offended by what was said. It's like they want to decide what should and shouldn't be offensive for the other person.

You're saying that he can't have an edgy opinion unless he's a politician, so you're more like Lucem than you realize.

Edgy opinions and politicians don't go well together. Trump was the only exception.
