>it isn't "trendy" to support

As another non-black minority I can second that the incessant pandering to one particular group has us all scratching our heads going "wait what's really going on?" Lots of really strange movements are being pushed on behalf of all minorities without our input. I just want to move on with my life/career without having identity shoved in my face all the time. A white friend of mine even tried to give me "the talk" about he recognizes he has privilege yada yada and I quickly told him to cut it out.

Wouldn't it be nice if he asked you opinion about this kerfuffle instead of "confessing" at you?
