Minorities do, in fact, need white people to stand up for their rights, because white people are a majority.

History provides several notable examples:

—The 13th Amendment abolishing slavery never would have passed if not for the support of white politicians: since they were far and away a majority of legislators and held the Presidency.

—The 19th Amendment granting women the right to vote never would have passed except for the support of male politicians, who were the only gender that held office at that time.

—It is too early to render a historical verdict on BLM, but the white (and other race) people who march with them follow in this same tradition.

If we all only looked after our own race/gender/whatever, it’d be a pretty miserable existence and we’d soon not have a country anymore.

It is better to recognize our shared national heritage and our common humanity, and act accordingly to ensure we’re all treated fairly under the law and with respect on a daily basis.

So, us minorities need white people to stand up for us? That's very racist of you. F you and your white guilt, virtue signaling bullshit. It's people like you who are actually keeping minorities on your liberal plantation dependant on your so-called government "help." Get over yourself. We don't need you.

For centuries white people have viewed minorities as helpless and substandard, unable to run their own lives without white intervention. So, as for white people "helping" minorities to gain back rights minorities have lost, that's just a perpetuation of old white ideas about helpless minorities but given a liberal spin to make it sound good. It really isn't.

Our righteousness is our best quality, and is boundless by the way. Have you seen how virtuous we are? I'm sure you have. You must have. It's obvious isn't it?
