>mentions that there are more black on black deaths than white on black deaths
>tribal
apparently bringing up factual statistics is tribal now.
Nah it's not tribal. But black on black crime has nothing to do with police brutality and it's just a forgeted up attempt at steering the conversation when you bring it up in a BLM context
well white americans can't have their culture represented because they don't have a culture
I know you're joking but I actually believe this. Let me explain
When black people were taken from wherever they originated from and made slaves in a new place, they lost much of their original cultural identities and they unified. From that solidarity in the face of oppression arose a valid, distinct black culture, particularly in America. White people on a whole never really had anything warranting organizing in that kind of way, besides as a response to attempts at social progress. For example, you could consider "suburban culture" to be predominantly white, but that's only because of white flight. Similarly, white pride and white heritage movements always seem to be fascist groups with flowery language about tradition.
"White" does not represent a culture. I don't feel any sort of "white" identity, though I have a Polish identity, because white is just a way of describing a group of people. I'm not proud for being white and I'm not guilty for being white, because being white doesn't represent any sort of struggle or anything significant in my life. "Whiteness" just means you get to live life without your race really meaning much in most situations. You get to be the "default", at least in the West.
People like to cite "American culture" as "white culture" but people of color are American too. To clarify, obv there is German culture, Italian culture, etc etc, but considering that the only thing holding white people as a whole together is that some of them feel threatened by racial progress, I have a hard time putting stock in the idea of a monolithic white culture or white identity.
