Black people face far more racism than white people do in America; it's a fact that institutional racism has historically disadvantaged blacks (and other non-white minorities).
Yes, which is why the movement should be "AllLivesMatter". The problem is that #blacklivesmatter's premise involves shaming non-blacks for being racist because they are not black (prejudice with power and all that garbage). Thus there is nothing negative you can say about them you are are instantly "racist" because you'll never understand because you'll never suffer the atrocities they do. That's not logical nor fair.
As someone who is neither black nor white, I don't have much connection to the white vs black thing, other than how I hate being told that I have some sort of power over blacks and that I should be shamed as such.
Imagine it was four white guys in that Uber scoring drugs... all of us would say "these four individuals are assholes" rather than "ugh why are white people like this".
Right, because if they were white, there wouldn't be a stereotype to be escaped from.
Blacks join together to fight racism, as they should. They go out of their way to demonstrate that they are disadvantaged. They are a group. This creates an US vs THEM mentality. (Again, I think it should be "AllLivesMatter"). In doing so, they create push-back from non-blacks, some of which are racist, some are not.
The push-back is creating an anti-blacklivesmatter mentality, which is yet another US vs THEM situation.
Remember that the reason I commented in here was because someone said:
There's never a call for all white people to shame their own, so why does that double standard exist for black people?
All of what I have said was in that comment's context. I am simply exploring why I think that double standard exists. Unfortunately, it is near impossible to have an intellectual discussion about race because people are so quick to point fingers and call other racist, that we lose the ability to critically analyze.
So to sum it up: I think the double standard is created from "push-back".
