Isn't it interesting that your response here is questioning and perhaps dismissive?
If a minority were sharing their perspective about whatever their lived experience was with regards to racism, would you respond this way?
I'll answer that: no, you wouldn't.
Which very quickly lifts the curtain. The movement is not about empathy or understanding. It's about empathy and understanding for people you deem worthy of receiving it.
I really don't understand how this relates.
Maybe that is the problem.

If a small group of people told me they actually experienced flight under only human power, no mechanical assistance. Would it be right to take that claim at face value?
I'll answer that: no, it wouldn't.
If you're going to ignore plausibility entirely, then yeah I suppose all statements deserve equal consideration.
However... If it is the case that some stamens are more plausible than others maybe it's an effective heuristic to be skeptical of implausible claims.
The number of people making the claim is not small.
You probably just cut all the people out of your life who disagree with you.
That is the liberal way, these days.
Donald Trump, among the worst presidents the US ever had, won the 2024 election. This kind of nonsense was absolutely a factor.
By definition, a minority group isn't the majority. So it's at least less than half. A non-small amount of people claim the earth is flat.
Does a personal attack make you feel better about yourself, your situation in life?
If that "kind of nonsense" was a factor, show us in the numbers where it made an impact. I got time, don't cop out, cough it up.
