Strawmen, strawmen and more strawmen. Won't work with me. Yay, you can make declarative (untrue) statements about my argument (while insisting I be more "fair" to you in the same breath ff).
No, again. The civil rights heroes wanted to be judged on the content of their character. Not on the color of their skin. The BLM movement aims to make it so color is the main and only thing as to which we judge both black and white people. And BLM is reviled by Americans so I'm not sure that "awareness" is good awareness.

I am not making untrue statements. You said it right here:

You are asserting that high black unemployment rate is due to "bad parenting, education, and laziness". You are right on education, which I stated. You are deeply wrong on parenting and laziness.

The point of contention is whether or not the liberal Clinton/Sanders voters have a point in supporting all of these movements that conflict and are grounded in baseless accusatory language and fiction. Feminism is one more reason that any sane black person should not vote for Clinton/Sanders. By pigeonholing men as all violent rapists that need to be policed heavily it ends up affecting black men the most. Imagine that? Sure, there's an overrepresentation of black men in the criminal justice system (due to their own choices and their own crimes) but that is not what I call racism. Do I think the system is overly harsh in their sentencing for petty crimes against men? Absolutely. Voting for liberals won't help that.

Can you answer me this? Why do you seem to think it is impossible the system is stacked against black people, but you are so confident that the system is hurting men?
You do know that
vast majority of congress is male, so are
most police officers and
judges too. These statistics are improving, but they're still very male. So how can the system be stacked against men? Are these all just self hating men? You think voting for conservatives will help? Between 1980-2008 we had 20 years of conservative republicans and 8 years of our most conservative democratic, yet we still have this result. Obama didn't cause the disproportionate about of men in prison. I really do think it is about gender roles and stereotypes.
BLM do want to be judge by the content of their character, but MLK and civil rights activist didn't get anywhere by saying "ALL LIVES MATTER". They made progress by pointing out the injustices black people face. They made progress by civil disobedience and their willingness to go to jail or worse for what they believed in.
You say that the reason black people are in jail are their own fault, but you don't address the links I cited you that stated black people get arrested for the same crimes white people get away with.

No. All of it is. Splitting things into racial tiers is literally the definition of racism. Feminism is all bad all the time.

No, that's not what I am saying.
