Well, your island has never existed. Only my island exists, and it's basically taken years for multiple groups of that island not to be treated like human garbage. What fantasy are you living in? Did you forget what island you're on? Did you forget that slavery, racism, genocide based on religion, race, etc ever existed? You are ON the unpleasant island. You have been on it your entire life. Wake up!
As far as Chuck goes, there is a lot of layers to that argument. On one hand, we shouldn't go catering to minorities according to you, but let's go ahead and cater to the feelings of one gay cop. Ignore BLM as a whole because who knows. If their representative or disruptive, but make sure you listen to this one gay person, just for good measure, because he's a cop.
I'm not getting you at all on this one. Identity politics didn't build this island, it's a response to it.
