Because black people did it is why
I thought there might've been a deeper reason, though I'm not surprised it does seem pretty dumb considering the reason people have done it is as a form of protest (if protesting for rights is disrespectful, there is seriously something wrong with the world).
No not really the world, just conservatives. Everyone else thinks it’s stupid. They’re just really loud and obnoxious so it feels like there’s more of them than there are. Don’t get me wrong there are some really loud and obnoxious liberals but I feel like most of the time they are fighting against injustice. I suppose conservatives may view their loss of total control as an injustice but they are probably scared that giving up power will lead to their own oppression in retaliation of their past shitty behaviour. It’s why they have to keep doubling down - they’ve boxed themselves into a corner. Only way forward I can see is to forgive and give assurances that they will not lose their own rights and that there is enough freedom to go around for everyone.
It is stupid, we should be able to stand up for our rights, especially since conservatives feel we shouldn't have any (and I'm not just talking about trans, gay, and queer rights either, they've shown they don't want anyone to have rights).
