White Privilege and All Lives Matter

These articles brings up slippery slopes that not many people can properly navigate. While I'm not saying white privilege doesn't exist, it is often over simplified since it is so subjective. A lot of supposed "privileges" didn't make much sense to me and seemed like they weren't exclusive to just white people. Whether they choose to admit it or not, black people are actually quite well off in our society and have the same rights as American citizens of all races do. I just feel like they're always looking for white people to feel guilty so they can gain more power which isn't exactly fair. It's also not fair when black people try to blame the white people of today for slavery when everyone alive today was not alive when slavery was legal.

This is a video by Hunter Avallone, a YouTuber whom I have talked previously. In this video from 2016, when the Black Lives Matter movement peaked in popularity, Hunter makes several valid arguments against this movement. The first is that they claim to be peaceful protesters while at the same time they are approving of violent methods, as he proceeds to show a slew of disgusting anti-cop tweets following a mass shooting where several police officers were killed. He also discusses BLM treating "All Lives Matter" as a racist rebuttal, when I'm sure the majority of the time those who say All Lives Matter simply mean that black lives are not the only lives that matter, not that convoluted explanation from that All Lives Matter article that we had to read that just made no sense to me.
