Whining about the oppression of black people on the internet all day doesn't change anything either. ACTION changes things, and complaining endlessly about the matter isn't going to have any effect on it at all.
And I also discuss how there other minorities being unfairly treated by the system, yet no one ever gives a rat's ass about them because the media likes focusing on this particular one for the sake of sensationalism. True equality is focusing on everyone, not just those who make the most noise.

Internet activism is really important, it's how BLM gained traction in the first place and how cases like Mike Brown's and Freddie Gray's got spread all around the world to show its injustice, to spread awareness of what's happening. It changes a lot, the more people know = the more BLM is promoted = they may get donations which help the work on the ground.
'Whining about the oppression of black people' just say you hate black people and how they're able to organise and mobilise to get their voices heard, it's less hassle than writing all this out
