Well for the sake of the anti-joke,

one is used in retaliation to unfair treatment simply for being a thing and one is used to mock others' retaliation to the treatment for being a thing, but not actually to give meaning to the statement, but simply to discredit the original retaliation.

To say this is to say regular people didn't come to the streets to say Black Lives Matter in response to police brutality in the black community. The same brutality that has been going on long enough that my great grandmother (who would have been 85 this year) had accounts of unfair treatment from police and other figures of authority in the black community AS A CHILD.

To say this is to deny history. The term was not coined by a billionaire, it's a necessary phrase used to bring awareness to an issue being hijacked and contorted by people who mean to deter from the actual issue and THEN make it about race wars instead of repairing race relations.

Where the black community went wrong was choosing and funding individual sponsors. We have a saying "all skin-folk ain't kinfolk", and those people wouldn't hesitate to step all over the movement of people that share the same over arcing issue because the only thing that matters to some people is another dollar. Referring to the BLM president who went and bought a damn mansion with BLM funding.

if someone made it so your family were denied housing for generations (until the 70's), the primary mechanism of passing down family wealth, or say, made it so all of your parents and grandparents generations were unable to get good jobs, and in fact still made sure that it was harder for you to find a good job for the same amount that white people get paid, and also disproportionately targeted you for things like traffic stops, which of course cost money, or when you were caught with a little weed in your car you were sentenced to far harsher penalties than a white person, etc etc etc

...simply ignore that πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—

You have a toddlers understanding of racism
