Re: Can we stop the pretense and call this what it is now - Anti White Protests
Well you might disagree, but seeing protests all over the world whether they be Asians, Englishmen, Latinos, Australians, etc. march in the HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS mind you, tell me otherwise...the crazy thing is, based on all of those marches I saw in all of those different countries, black people might be in the minority of BLM. And that my friend, is a beautiful thing.

Reality includes BOTH the seen and the unseen.
Because you don't hear a bark doesn't mean there isn’t a dog.

There have been times throughout history, where the overwhelming majority of people.... black... brown... red... yellow... white... doesn't matter... all enthusiastically supported a cause. Without horrific and disastrous consequences.
“The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd; indeed in view of the silliness of the majority of mankind, a widely spread belief is more likely to be foolish than sensible.”
― Bertrand Russell

And before they came together for that... a bunch of them came together and created the REASON for that
And after they came together for that.... a bunch of them came together and thought they'd give communism a try. They stacked the bodies of 100s of millions of dead in the 20th century alone.

Re: Can we stop the pretense and call this what it is now - Anti White Protests
Remember when Kiko Alonso nearly beheaded Joe Flacco? Remember when Ryan Jensen came out of nowhere to smoke Alonso?
Alonso didn’t do anything to Jensen. So, why did Jensen react that way?
Because it's a team game. People play team games by a different set of rules. An action that would be considered unjust on an individual level can easily be rationalized as acceptable if it advances the team's interests.
This movement is divisive precisely because it is encouraging people to see themselves as members of groups. That allows leeway...leeway to transform “greedy Mr. Goldberg” into “greedy Jew,” “sneaky Mr. Miyagi” into “sneaky ”Jap.” Because merits and demerits are now more likely to be tethered to group membership, the incentive for individual merit is weakened. People will free ride and scapegoat. Not kewl.
America's legal system, and it’s capitalistic economy, perhaps it’s ethos is founded on individual rights not group rights, not group obligations. An individual's competing loyalties are to be so diffused that, when added to millions of similarly conflicted individuals, harmony is possible. The shared group identity is that of American.
When that gets crystallized and mobilized great (and bad) things are possible. The fear is that people are being now directed to prioritize their smaller group (race, sex) over the larger group. That's dangerous and divisive. It's especially so when that smaller group loyalty isn’t based on a behavioral characteristic or an ideology, but instead is based on some immutable characteristic unrelated to reason or merit.
