I was talking about wealthy black people being harrassed in their own neighborhoods. To my knowledge, that doesn't happen to wealthy white people. And admittedly, I spend a fair amount of time in wealthy white neighborhoods.

As to the killings of white people, I think rather than demand a change to the name of #BlackLivesMatter, perhaps poor white people should bring more attention to the killings they're seeing. And, to circumvent criticism, say, "This is not to take attention away from #BlackLivesMatter. We support them, and appreciate anyone calling for an end to police brutality."

I see it as similar to common outcries from men's rights activists about feminism. "Why is there so much hullabaloo about breast cancer and not prostrate cancer?! No one cares about men!"

Well, maybe men should advocate for themselves and make more of a fuss then. The answer for yourself is not to suppress the other, but maybe to join them, or emulate them.

And I'm sure it's not shocking to you that, as a white man, your articles that specifically talk about renaming #BlackLivesMatter should get some crticism. You've got great arguments, but leveraging any criticism against them or their name isn't very useful. You're a white dude. Maybe you don't know enough about being a black person to say they're doing it wrong. Maybe just stick to white guy stuff, and support the efforts of other groups (to which you don't belong) who are trying to raise awareness for their own stuff.

I think your words about #BlackLivesMatter are obfuscating the important things you have to say about poor white lives.
