If Only This were Doggerel

Looking only at the words of the phrase "black lives matter" doesn't even imply other lives do not so much as it implies they do. It's just a phrase to remind those in power who have incurred injustices disproportionately, from police brutality to unjust sentencing, on black people and POC that their lives matter. Simple as that.

So when someone whines about being white and oppressed by the historically oppressed, they sound stupid to put it bluntly. And why are they so quick to be secure with their white complexion as opposed to understanding why it is that these injustices only happen to black people and POC, but mainly black people?

As you know, while the bare phrase “black lives matter” is a near tautology (as is “white lives matter”) - if anything matters, it’s human lives - its meaning, in context, is an assertion that lives of black people matter less to those it accuses than those of (for example) white people similarly situated.  This assertion is false and insulting.  As any fair analysis shows, black criminals suffer more fatalities (as well as arrests and punishments) because of their own behavior rather than bias against them for group membership.

Any response (such as “white lives matter” or “blue lives matter,” i.e. police are entitled to defend their own lives) enrages BLM accusers because it cancels their unearned privilege derived from being “historically” (not personally or actually) oppressed.

As for “it’s OK to be white,” this is another near-tautology... but its meaning, in context, is that being anti-white (in the guise of being pro-anything else at all) is racism as surely as being anti-black or anti-POC is since it turns solely on race... with a tincture of Marxism.  Like the less stringent but still biting “white lives matter” and “all lives matter,” it cancels the unearned privilege of anti-white racists (essentially all of academe and the Left) and is therefore falsely called a hate crime–  by the world’s premiere hate-criminals.

Thanks for the opportunity to make that clear.  Have a very nice and fulfilling day.
