That’s a victim blamey take, and also just wrong.
When someone “corrects” “black lives matter” to “all lives matter”, that’s wrong because they’re denying the existence of oppression in the first place and that it’s black people who are the targets of oppression.
When you say Americans are all uptight, then someone pipes up that it is a specific segment of Americans, maybe it’s because it is specifically a segment of Americans who are forcing that upon other Americans.
“Americans” aren’t uptight about this. Fucking fundie dominionists are, and they’re killing people with it. Lumping all Americans in with them and saying it’s their own fault for participating in the culture is erasing their oppression.
