MODERATORS
You're equivocating, for no reason, being equally sympathetic to an injustice regardless of the demographics of the victim in any given instance, with treating every case as if it's identical.
Those are completely unrelated things.
P.S. You 'may be shocked to learn' that starting a comment like that just makes you sound like a sanctimonious jerk.
If you ignore that different demographics face different issues and that they are valid in bringing them up, and argue against that, you’re right wing trash as far as I’m concerned. Knowing that makes someone like that think I’m a sanctimonious jerk is only a compliment.
Which is irrelevant, because that's not what I did.
Since you've demonstrated a deliberate penchant for deliberately misconstruing anything short of full-throated agreement, your labeling based on that has no value whatsoever. "Right wing trash" and "person who disagrees with me" are not synonymous.
The fact remains, despite your protest: the attention any given injustice a person has suffered merits, should not depend on any of the victim's immutable characteristics. It is immoral to believe, for example, that George Floyd and Tony Timpa[^1] merit different amounts of sympathy/outrage/etc., just because one is black and the other is white.
[^1]: > Anthony "Tony" Allen Timpa, a 32-year-old, unarmed white man, was killed in Dallas, Texas by police officer Dustin Dillard. Officers had responded to a call by Timpa requesting aid for a mental breakdown due to the fact that he had not taken his prescription medication for schizophrenia and depression. Dillard pushed his body weight onto Timpa on the ground for around 14 minutes after he was already restrained, and officers ignored pleas from Timpa that he was in pain and was afraid he was going to die. Timpa's death was ruled a homicide....
