And it is exactly that dismissive attitude towards the protesters that proves my point, Nick. You are blind to your own racism.

If you actually weren't racist, you would do some homework and try to understand why the protestors are so upset. Instead, you dismiss their perspective as if, because YOU don't understand it or experience it, it doesn't matter or carry any weight. 

You're basically saying, "these black and brown people have nothing to complain about and don't know their own feelings or experiences - I know better than them because I am a white man and my opinions are objective logic and fact."

It's like a jury of men deciding for a woman whether or not she was raped by THEIR standards even though SHE was the one who EXPERIENCED the rape. 

You obviously can't see your own racism, but can you at least see how telling people they're silly for protesting suggests that you know their experiences better?

You don't. And that makes your opinion invalid, unnecessary, unwanted.
