The logic of what youre saying makes sense. The issue is that minorities and black people in particular feel like (and to an extent I agree), racism has been described to them by Caucasians, that “we” only care about racism when it fits into our box of what racism is, instead of listening to them about they feel is racism.
Ive said it here before, the issue at least my opinion of it is way to many caucasions try to sound woke by trying to find racism in everything, which makes people roll their eyes when some of those things are completely absurd and it can make people ignore racism when it does happen. Theres always some give and take with what is racism and what isnt but we should be listening to them, and letting them have a loud voice in defining what is and isnt racism rather than dictating to them what is. When they say, you arent Black you dont know what its like, they are saying we dont understand racism, nor have we experienced it the same ways that they have in America and that their unique experiences need to be heard, respected and listened too.
So yes I get it, no one has lived in anyone elses shoes, or see’s things from their perspective and we all have unique qualities, but in terms of what is racism and what isnt, that is something minorities and those effected by it should have loud voice in.
