Black Lives Matter? White people don't even care about white lives. Watch how many "enlightened liberals" walk coldly past a white homeless bum on the street begging for spare change. If whites don't even care about "fellow" whites, what makes you think they're going to care about another race? That's a pretty big ****ing ask.
What the hell do you expect me to realistically do? In between taking care of my relatives, my job, studying, working out, and enjoying the brief downtime I've rightfully earned, where exactly does "dismantling racism" have room to fit into my schedule? I have my own life to worry about. I couldn't care less about the problems of people I don't even know.
Yes, the apathy of white people might make your situation seem hopeless, but that's the reality. You can have your temper tantrums, you can burn down buildings, you can block highways, but at the end of the day, all your desperation to be heard amounts to nothing more than yet another mild annoyance in our days already filled with mild annoyances that come with living a modern middle class lifestyle. It's the equivalent of a flat tire, or my smartphone battery running out.
"Oh, great, THIS is just what I needed today."
Also, can we please stop pretending all lives inherently have value? The life of a serial rapist, murderer, etc, has no value to me whatsoever. The only value a person has is the value they have to offer other people. The only people that "matter" are people that can do something for me, and the only people I "matter" to are people I can do something for.
Leave me the **** alone.
