    Sounds like some All Lives Matter BS.

    Some groups, as a whole, are having a way tougher time right now. Yes that includes the white working poor. But LGBTs and PoC’s are literally in fear of an eminent end of their life by violent means. And some of them are also working poor.

    Nobody is banging on your door, taking you at gunpoint to a concentration camp god-knows-where, and separate you from your kids. Some of them are even citizens or at least here lawfully. I fear a lot of the undocumented probably have already disappeared forever.

    Nobody is actively challenging your right to live because of who you love, or whether or not you sit to pee.

    Yeah, all lives matter. Some lives just need a little more attention at the moment.

      This exact bullshit is why the elite class can keep dividing and ruling, those minorities you mentioned are still in heaven in comparison to others or some specific part of the world, does that mean that other folks around the world should not care about discourse in the USA?

      The difference among working classes pale in comparison when it comes to differences in class hierarchy and power structure.

      We can always appreciate extra helping hands.

      Personally I am not from the USA, but best of luck and well wishes to everybody who is holding the frontline dispite the difference, always remember

      First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

      Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

      Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

      Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

        Wtf are you blabbering on about? How the fuck does “First they came” have anything to do with what I said? If anything, it directly conflicts your point.

        First they came for the immigrants, but poor white folk matter more, so whatevs.

        Then they came for the transgenders, but poor white folk matter more, so whatevs.

        Yea, we all need to be looking out for each other. But recently we had Mormons in the neighborhood, and my neighborhood chat blew up. A few people were terrified it was the gestapo, because they are LGBT and/or (legal) immigrants, or shit, even off-white natural-born Americans.

        Those people are the ones to speak up for now
