Comment on I keep hearing that the Democratic Party should've paid more attention to the young white American demographic. Does this mean there was a point to the "All lives matter." movement?

Yes. It’s a very wrong perspective.

So let me break it down, and I’m not trying to be alienating or picking a side in the arguments of sex, gender, or color.

In the US, at least, it’s very close enough to say that it’s a half split on biologically born male and female.

Around 25% of those people identify to associate with the LGBTQIA+ group.

Around 32% of Americans are black

19% are Hispanic

7% are asian

And I’m adding this for effect: 58% are european

Now! If we look at the multiple demographic and ethnic ideas and peoples, then we see a different perspective, idea, and solutions.

I didn’t even mention religious or political ideologies, which would make the breakdown even deeper.

My point is that “who we fight for” is not a thing that we can identify with our eyes anymore. We should fight for affection and life. The hardest part is seeing people oppose what looks like who we/what concern ourselves with. That should tell you that not everyone who looks like the person who opposes you might not be your enemy. We have seen what happens when fear and hate control our emotions. Yet very few people want to do anything about it
