That's probably because you spend a lot of time listening to people who have indoctrinated you to interpret it that way.
There's an incredibly small number of people who truly believe racial equality is a bad idea.
And when we say equality, we should be meaning to say equal opportunities, not equal outcomes. A society based on equal outcomes is doomed from the start.
There is, however, a tremendous amount of people playing the "if you're not with us, you're against us" game though.
Like this guy...
So 17 dead (including at least two black cops so far) as collateral damage because of "peaceful protests" (but actually riots half the time) is cool?
If you cannot or will not acknowledge that, you're part of the problem.
It's easy to apply your own faulty logic against you.
Everybody is really quick to say "institutional racism" and "police brutality" but really low on specifics on what the problem is (outside of repeating buzz words) and how to fix it (outside of stupid ideas like disbanding the police). - JohnFergusonJr

Why don't you define and explain them? Surely you acknowledge they are problems.

You missed the point terribly.
These ideas being pushed by certain groups and the sheep that follow them aren't new. They're bad ideas from the past that they didn't learn the history of. - JohnFergusonJr

How many officers charged, suspended or fired? - Fakepartofme
A lot of officers got charged, suspended and fired and justifiably so in most cases.
Two black cops are dead. Most leftists wouldn't even know it with how little coverage it's been given in their echo chambers and corporate media bubbles. Is that irrelevant? Do black lives matter if they're police officers or is there an asterisks next to their names? Or is it the same double standard they have with protests during a pandemic?

Seriously, why do you waste your time on us? As you say we have been brainwashed we won’t listen to you and we are never going to accept what you say.

First rate blues, muddy waters was a music giant IMO, one of the greatest blues musicians ever. He was recording great music in the forties. The piece below shows how great music is timeless - from the 1960 Newport jazz festival.

I'll grant you that honor. - JohnFergusonJr
I acknowledge they are problems. For example, the fact that more people of colour are brutalized and killed by police officers. And that people of colour face barriers to accessing things like health care and education, as well as barriers to opportunity in the workplace. Do you acknowledge these problems? Do you believe change is needed in these areas??
