A white guy has to be a complete idiot to offer up any critique of the Black Lives Matter movement. But hey, I like to debate. It's in my nature.
I agree with 90% of the BLM movement. But there are some aspects I don't agree with.
But whenever a white guy attempts the slightest critique of BLM, he gets this standard logical escape hatch response that instantly shuts down any rational debate. It goes something like this: "Oh I'm sorry. Did I offend your white person feelings. Let's make this all about you. Poor offended white person. White fragility. Mansplaining."
The reason I call it an escape hatch is because it gets the person out of addressing the actual critique.
My guess is there are lots intelligent people who take exception to some of the BLM rhetoric, maybe even annoyed by it. Does that mean they are suffering from white fragility?
Question 1: Is it possible to disagree with some aspects of the BLM movement and not be a racist or an insensitive white asshole?
Question 2: How many people will reply with standard escape hatch response?
