I’ll re-emphasize my point, there is no way for this to come to even a draw. As a white male, I do want equality for all and I’m not afraid of listening. I have seen very little genuine desire for cooperation and dialogue, and instead, I see “cops must die” signs and looting and destruction of property. HOW on earth could you possibly demand that whites listen to the issues, when there has not been any condemnation of these types of acts? Culturally, whites don’t believe we ought to kill cops. Is that what the black culture thinks? You can’t be intellectually honest and say that white’s responses to BLM are typically being ignored while at the same time BLM stands for THEIR perceived superiority and demands for MORE segregation on college campuses and high schools. If whites are guilty of promulgating racism, than it can and SHOULD be said that the BLM is doing the same thing. I believe MLK would be appalled at the state of the civil rights movement. In my view, the BLM movement isn’t about civil rights, but it’s about revenge. The hatred and vitriol they decry, is the same hatred and vitriol they justify in themselves. Revenge brings anger and hatred and no reasonable dialogue, and no reasonable and effective change for the good of everyone can take place. Both sides of this issue have much blame to themselves for the current state of things. So yes, I do ignore BLM. I do find myself resenting their messages of hate. I do resent their messages of revenge. I do resent their messages of “kill cops”. I do resent their out-right communistic ideals. I resent the double standards and hypocrisy-the childish mentality of “because they did it to me (or my ancestors) I can do it to them”. The “typicality” of ignoring arguments on race issues goes both ways, and the fact that folks in the BLM and other movements of the same nature (Black Panthers, KKK, White Nationalists, etc.) won’t admit that or even take the high road leaves people who want change on both sides of the aisle in a bad place.
