The blacklivesmatter movement is actually an organization, not just a hashtag and they cover a range of subjects.

Moving on, your entire comment as well as this thread in general is total BS. A kid attacked another kid for having good grades, and now all of a sudden all black people are supposed to be judged by that including the kid being beat up by your argument. What sense does that make ?

This is vile. But it IS the racist white men keeping black people from getting ahead. Don't be naive.
This is why collectively blacks will never win their "struggle"

I do know this. I had two in-laws on my ex-wife's side. One is a white woman married to a Hispanic man. The other is a white man married to a black woman. Each couple has two children, 2 boys and 2 girls. Unless you specifically told someone these kids were of mixed race, you couldn't tell. For all intents and purposes they look "white".

Now, if things are so difficult for minorities, why did my former nieces and nephews select "Hispanic" and "African-American" on their college entrance applications? And their employment applications? And every time they are asked to list "race"?

So why don't they want to be white? They told me it gives them advantages and opportunities that simply being white does not. So they check that box just as our Commander-in-Chief does. He's the first "African-American" President.

Now, 1 is a lawyer, 2 are in nursing, and 1 is a politician, like our President. Not bad for missing out on "White Privilege".
Def dishonest ethnic labels there tho I def agree with what you're saying.

Hell; a "Hispanic" can be 100 percent "white" or any other race. Too; a light skin "Black" person in the US many times will be tagged as white in LatAm or even Europe.

This kid will grow up and leave his community behind. It's people like him they need the most if you ever expect things to change in the inner city.
So the point is to remind everyone whites as victims...
