So not a hate crime?

I don't think you can really generalize based on anecdotes.

But now there's the rub, right? It's difficult to quantify this type of reverse racism, yet most everyone has experienced it in one way shape or form. Seeing the whole BLM group evolve into what they represent today, all the news coverage of young black men resisting officers due to their perceived prejudices against them (which aren't true) and the actions taken against them to subdue them and the resultant riots afterward... where is the hero that stands up and calls them out for what this is? It's so fucking obvious, it's ridiculous! When an officer of the law can't even do his/her job for fear of being labeled a racist and losing their job or worse simply for arresting a non cooperative black individual, I'd say the fucking system is broken, and there is a serious underlying issue not being addressed. I've seen on the news officers relieved of duty and charged with murder *due to public pressure* when the force already knew the officer was innocent, and the poor officer goes to court and of course wins because they were innocent all along, but they have to play this game for who? For the protesters who will riot... and who are these protesters? What are they protesting? It's not unfair treatment, because these cases have evidence to the contrary. It is black peoples perception of inequality that is at issue here. Get a clue! Like I said, it's so obvious what's happening, so why won't anyone call it out for what it is?

I'm honestly not sure what this has to do with anything I said.

All that sentence says is that I don't think any voice can speak for the majority of any race, and bringing up extremists groups is like trying to place white people as the KKK. I know I would not let any random asshole speak for a group I am associated with. As for BLM, I have read quite a few media reports that they are not a peaceful kind, at least some supporters, so there are those that are critical.

And I certainly never claimed that that any of these things were mutually exclusive, that is a white person can still suffer from the effects of of the establishment too; it's not a zero sum game. And practically everyone here has a thing against the pitifulness of the so-called "Identity Politics"

And no, I'm not like Trump who said, "I love Chinese people. I have them working for me all over the world". I actually have friends of every color in the rainbow, and they can see this same issue as I.

Unlike other people that you may talk with, please don't feel the need to be defensive. I am not claiming you are racist, so there's no need to defend against that accusation. You might even be more tolerant of people than I am and I don't apologize for who I am. I don't think anyone should, unless they start imposing their will on others.
