But the only public protests I hear about these things are from #BlackLivesMatter people. And when pursuing it from their perspective, it gets treated as a racism problem rather than a problem of institutional power being out of balance. We can't look at how the police routinely abuse power when we've got the lens focusing on how the police abuse black people.
(Lest I be accused of racism and/or insensitivity: yes, racism adds another dimension to the problem. But I think that a proper solution to the broader problem would also serve to curtail race-related abuses. Yet it seems impossible to suggest this in public discourse without being attacked by SJWs.)
- mindslight 11y agoThank you. People think they're doing double advocacy by tying the issue to race. What they're really doing is framing the issue in a way that makes it seem completely irrelevant to the median self-absorbed voter.
