Why have people got such an issue with others standing up to racism?
Do you have any values?

People will say they don't, but they'll accuse someone who speaks out on the issue of hating their country, God, etc. They will insist on doing nothing to address problems for years and years. They will ignore and ridicule peaceful protestors as "communist," "far-left extremists," etc.
After years and years of this, there is scarcely another option but to resort to violence or to accept the injustice.
Since these people are opposed to the rioting in the streets, in addition to the speaking out and the peaceful protesting of years past, the only possible conclusion is that these people want everyone to accept the situation as it is with no change.
People are like this because they feel powerless and are afraid that justice will give them even less power. For the billionaire class, this is actually true. But for poor whites, in a number of cases, actual justice would give them more power as well.

@Chevy454 what’s more important to you; if you aren’t being blocked driving your car for an hour or that you don’t have to be concerned for your life because of your skin colour?

When you’re accustomed to being treated with deference, treating others as equals feels like oppression.
Also, just in general, people in power tend to prefer the status quo, so there’s also a strong and insidious culture of blaming the complainers.

@TiffAching it’s both mind boggling and disheartening at the same time.

I don't have a problem with anyone standing up to it i do have a problem with the person complaining being racist theirselves. Racism doesn't have a color.

@JovialPlutonian What nonsense?
smiler2012 · 56-60
@kodiac yes i suppose racist remarks and racial hatred can be directed both ways but the point i was making is it may not be a one way street but i think one group certainly gets it more

We need an example since everything has to be linked to racism now

@revenant well just the general attitude towards people standing up for themselves because they’re discriminated for their skin colour and the responses you see from others.

@JovialPlutonian I still do not see what and who you are talking about. And the context also
