New levels of stupidity have been reached

I think it is so funny how just last year there were multiple people joined far and wide to support BLM. However now that the tables are turned and it is another minority in need of support (Asians) many of those who marched, protested, and supported BLM, shrug indifferent saying "they were not there for my struggle. Why should we care?"

Quite the hypocrite & disgusting from all sides, how can you so strongly advocate for one and shrug off another bc of your own prejudice. Lumping them all together as nonexistent for supporting other ethnicities because it's easier to let the media show you what you should see than to do the research and understand it yourself. Minorities should come together, and was that not the whole point of coming together during those times of brutality? However look at the response when it is another minority group in need. I am so disgusted by the whole situation, and have no more words to entertain the brainless. This world is beyond repair; look how easily we turn on each other when really we should be unifying against those who are behind the injustice.

How are they so certain that they weren’t there?

@Seventeen that's not even what disgusts me the most, it's the pettiness behind it. I dont understand how you can advocate so loudly for one ethnicity and then turn a blind eye when they are both experiencing the same traumas.

Lives are being lost on both ends and instead of coming together they choose to fight and I really cant wrap my head around how thick you have to be to let something like that be the reason you wont stand up against such injustice when you or even your own people have experienced it

@Crushedstrawberries it’s likely that they feel it won’t benefit themselves in some way. People are more self centered than others realize. Also they may be tired of the protests and felt they did their portion of a fight if they truly believe that these people didn’t help them. And now are looking towards the other side to do their own fight.

@Seventeen I agree, it's incredibly disheartening to see during times like these.

@Crushedstrawberries It does happen though. Just because they didn’t physically see it from any particular side though doesn’t mean it didn’t occur. Media coverage mainly focused on black participation for the views. I’m sure plenty of people donated etc to Black Lives Matter.

But since it’s not covered. Since a breakdown or analysis is overlooked and the facts aren’t apparently clear. They assume what they know based off what was shown to them.

I personally would never donate to BLM as I see it more as a corporation once the original owners sold it and people wanted to market it as a brand. When I don’t see physical documentation of fiscal reports on where all that money is turning up that they have earned. I don’t trust it. They made their money through donations and now where did it go to? Too many unanswered questions for me.

But it does not mean they did not receive donations in abundance.

@Seventeen yes I agree. And that's why I have no more words when I come across these people bc I know they are helpless empty vases only good for making noise. They are truly a lost cause with no hope for redemption. A blind sheep who will allow the media to dictate their reality.

The media is not to blame though, it is those who choose to believe whatever is placed in front of them with no question to research or understand it. And that's what is happening here. The same people who argued so violently for change, for peace, and equality are the same people who are arguing one ethnicity deserves to be subjected to injustice ...because those people believe that ethnicity was nonexistent during their own struggles.

I think it is funny you bring that up bc I've seen people bring up the fact that they have never seen an asian person contribute to the BLM fund...as if actually donating to that fund would do more good than if they supported small black-owned businesses in this sense. I dont know about any of that sort but I do know that if those who truly fought for the values of the BLM movement wanted change, they would not support brutality towards another group of people.
