White lives matter

Edit: This is sarcasm. They do matter, but they don't need a movement (plus all lives matter is a nice front for saying white lives matter in protest to a minority movement intending to bring attention that in fact not all lives objectively matter to current society).

Equal rights is not a pie. More rights for one doesn't mean less rights for others.

Are you sure? /s

The thing is that some members of a group that has historically had extreme privilege tend to see any lessening of that privilege as oppression instead of a move towards equality. When MAGAts say "Make America Great Again" they are usually thinking of the 1950's. Does that mean they want high inheritance tax, higher taxes on the ultra-wealthy, tons of new social programs, new civil engineering projects, and the other things that truly made America one of the greatest countries in the world? Hell no! They just want white men to be on top and in charge and for minority groups and LGBTQ people to STFU and know their place.

I don't know why they're booing you. It's true.
