Saying “everyone is the problem actually” is not enlightened, it’s just an easy answer. There is so much history and context that is missing from that position. It’s nearly the same energy as saying that Ukraine has equal or near equal guilt in the war it is currently a part of despite the fact that it was minding its own business before it was invaded for “reasons”.

Minorities have spent so goddamn long being told they can’t have a damn thing in the US and every single thing they do have has come with a fight. Hell the working class in general couldn’t get a 40hr work week without literal bloodshed. A little black girl, who’s still alive today because it wasn’t long enough ago, needed an escort to go to school because of how pissed white conservatives were that she was going to be attending a school with white kids. Straight people make all kinds of shitty movies but an all female Ghost Busters isn’t perfect and people blame the gender of the cast and call it “pandering” because they finally weren’t the target audience this time and they can’t let it go.

I remember thinking similar things around ~20 years old and then I actually started learning things and meeting these people, not just in passing but as my friends, and shit changed quick.
