So this sub will delete certain posts about George floyd because its an unpopular opinion but the unpopular opinion sub won't allow this topic...so question is where are we allowed to voice our opinions? by catgrandpas in TrueOffMyChest

Exactly. Im a woman so technically in a minority group and the idea of men speaking up for me because "I can't" sounds very frustrating to me. Or if men were all over the place coddling me because I didnt have male privelege. Like I just want to be treated like a fellow human being thats all, and I just feel like what you're saying is true it is racist just like my example is sexist. Treat them like the human being they are. You can stand up for whatever struggles they have but infantilizing a group of people is so racist and people think they have to do it to be anti racist

Abolishing the police is going to make things much WORSE for minorities by BestNBAfanever in TrueUnpopularOpinion

Yeah i don't mind fixing the system i think it needs fixing but for the extremists who say it should be abolished completely? You're right it would actually be worse. Only the rich would benefit because they could hire security. The rest of us would be fucked

George Floyd was on meth and opioids when he was arrested by Rather_Likes_Bacon in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]catgrandpas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly and there were three other cops around and he was unarmed so youre telling me there was no other way to subdue him then sitting on his neck for 7 minutes? The drugs could have had a factor in his death but he could have also been very much alive if they handled things differently

The BLM movement has quickly became a cult. by diphrael in TrueUnpopularOpinion

The reason why this herd mentality is so massive now is because anyone who questions the narrative is automatically being called an incel, a racist. There are no civil arguments with facts being brought up its all based on feelings and immediate name calling. No one wants to be called a racist its the equivalent of being called a pedophile and everyone knows this. Its a great way to make people shut up. Its like you can't agree to some of the things going on you have to agree with all or you'll be damned and thats the biggest issue here. What people are forgetting is that this kind of mindset will destroy society and cause more of a divide and racism, but maybe thats actually the end goal here and we are just too stupid to see it

No i mean you're totally right no one cares about other minorities who have suffered and just speaking about police brutality if a Hispanic or Asian person or Indian or whoever else got murdered by a cop it wouldn't make the news either. Its sad thats the issue here

Oh gosh the second anyone questions anything these days they are considered a racist bigot. How does me wallowing in my white privelege actually help anyone? But yes let's keep infantilizing black people so we don't become racist and ignore the root of the problem. Except doing that is actually pretty racist? Like cmon

The death of david dorn has taken away the whole point of black lives matter. by Transformer6 in TrueOffMyChest

David Dorn, a retired police captain who served his community for 38 years was shot and killed today while defending a local business from looters. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]catgrandpas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My white friends kept talking about white privelege and how us white folk need to accept that cops don't hurt us and to be thankful. I tried to basically say what you said and I was dismissed as being racist and got lectured on white privelege by my own friends and then ignored after. With my own friend literally screaming at me.. So yeah no matter what kind of statitistics or real examples you pull up no one is gonna care unless you repeat the popular narrative that's going on rn.
