Let me be more clear: it is NOT POSSIBLE for white people to be marginalized[/quote]

You are racist.  Yes, it is possible.  You realize Jews, Gays/Lesbians and other groups fall under white.  As well as those with SN...[/quote]

Yes and people who are White and LGBTQ or White and disabled will still receive better treatment than people who are Black and LGBTQ or Black and disabled because that’s how White privilege works. Our racial construct rewards whiteness so White privilege will protect you from marginalization. [/quote]

So the number of those people who are white but experience hate crimes are lying? Jews actually recorded higher numbers of hate crimes than any other group. [/quote]

Why do you find it so emotionally impossible to acknowledge racism that Black people have endured for 400+ plus years? It doesn’t mean other people haven’t suffered. You just can’t do it though. HAVE to pivot to talk about another group. [/quote]

DP.  I don't understand this blind adherence to a tenet that is so obviously untrue.  There are many groups that racism and systemic racism across our country and across the world.  Just go to India or Russia or China, and you will see caste systems that have been in place for centuries.  Part of the problem with the BLM movement is the unwillingness to recognize that there are many, many groups that experience racism and who have experienced it for much longer durations.

You're getting angry at a poster (not me) who is making a valid point.  He isn't refuting your point, he is simply pointing out that his identifying group(s) also experiences systemic racism and have/s for a very long time.[/quote]

Nobody is saying they haven’t. Black people simply want their lives and their value validated. It is NOT hard to do that. It doesn’t mean others don’t matter. If you can’t say black lives matter without asking about other lives, ask why.  [/quote]
