[a character looks sad in front of a sad city, under the sunset]
Things aren’t looking great…
It sucks when the state kills people
Wish we could do something about it

[the character is now in front of their TV, showing ICE agents surrounding a bleeding corpse on the floor]
Wait… this time they killed WHITE people
This means it could happen to me too?!

I DRAW THE LINE HERE

    But they were upset sooner. All of you keep making the same circular argument, “People should have already been upset!” They fucking WERE! How many times does that need to be said?

    I’VE ALREADY SAID THEY WEREN’T SAYING NO ONE EVER CARED.

    So apparently it has to be said a hundred fucking times before you stop strawmanning.

    Making sweeping generalizations about all white people is not “pointing out systemic racism,” it’s just racism. If you get offended by this then you’re telling on yourself.

    THEY AREN’T making a sweeping generalisation of all white people - they ARE pointing out systemic racism. The only people who get triggered by these things are racists. You’re a fucking racist. You saw a post being critical of the response white people are having and got offended because it couldn’t possibly be that systemic racism exists, surely they must be calling out all white people or something.

      Everything you’re asserting is false, but if you’re just going to call me racist then I’ll just fuck off and when everyone else who’s been upset about ICE stops caring because you’re calling them racist and they fuck off too, good luck standing off with ICE when a large portion of the country isn’t on board with you because you called them all racist for getting upset about you making broad generalizations about them based on their race.

        Please do.

        and when everyone else who’s been upset about ICE stops caring because you’re calling them racist and they fuck off too, good luck standing off with ICE when a large portion of the country isn’t on board with you because you called them all racist for getting upset about you making broad generalizations about them based on their race.

        They won’t get upset because the non racists won’t get offended at something that isn’t make broad generalisations about their race.
