I and probably many other Trump voters will walk away from this with the following key takeaways from Black Lives Matter: (1) if you’re white, you’re racist; (2) if you disagree with us, you’re even more racist; (3) if you publicly post your opinions that disagree with us, we will make you lose your livelihood; (4) between claims of colorblindness and cultural appropriation, everything you do offends us; (5) racism is a one way street; (6) if a white person shoots a black person, the white person is probably at fault because black people can do no wrong; (7) we’re together as one when we fight for equality, but separate and unique individuals when we aren’t at our best; (8) we really don’t like helping verbs.
There. Those are the conclusions I have drawn from this movement.
As much as they have been mistreated by society, though, I have to ask whether black people are contributing to the problem.
