When a few criminals highjack the BLM movement and the BLM movement don't call them out, don't critize them and don't condemne their action publicly, they are accepting to be highjacked and end up supporting these actions.

As for my ancestor, not every Irish folk owned slaves and there's still slavery today in africa, but let's not talk about history because it make the popular narative look bad. The british were the first to abolish slavery. My anscestors fled war and were low class, to have some random blowShmoe tell me I'm priviledge because of my skin is utter bullshit.

Criminals (black and white) were called out by the BLM movement - plenty of video evidence for this

Even if you're white trash, you've had more opportunities than blacks who are at a similar economic level to you. If you're middle class, or upper middle class, you've had more potential opportunities than blacks at those levels. That's 'priviledge' for Irish descendent honkies like us.

"you've had more opportunities than blacks who are at a similar economic level to you" Base on what evidence? The problem with that rethoric is that it is baseless. Anytime you run a regression on wage base on Geolocalisation, education, gender, ethnicity, personality treats such as asertiveness, age, hours work per weeks, social circle size, whether or not the parent are still together, IQ, presence of mental illness or not, presence of physical disease and any other factors. When you correct the linear regression for auto correlation, heteroskedasticity and functional form, you end up seeing that both Gender and Ethnicity are not significative with p-value above 0.2.

You could argue success isn't just wage, but ethnicity has nothing to do with it and nor does gender.

I cannot provide you with the data I use because I'd be breaching the confidenciality agreement of my workplace so I won't try to convince you of it, but I have yet to see any evidence of systemic racism.

In fact, the only systemic racism there might be is affirmative action because it is base on skin color instead of poverty level.

It must be exhausting for socks to be fighting this war on two fronts against actual 'racialists' as well as folks who see ethnic minorities as fellow citizens rather than as favoured pets.
