Because he told us, just like millions of people of color have been telling us. You just don't like hearing it, so you continually try to move the goal post and change the discussion. 

So I ask again, in this current age, what makes someone’s hardships deemed more important than another’s?

A better question might be, why does it matter how he has been treated?

Is it simply because people would be more inclined to side with his campaign for equality if he had personally experienced inequality? Or is it because one has to have experience in or with a particular issue before they have the right to speak on said issue?

If it's the latter then we might as well shut this place down because none of us have the right to talk professional football since none of us have ever played it.

The personal experience argument is tiresome.

I would argue that the outdated inequality argument is tiresome.

Basically it's people who drop out of highschool then get involved in stealing or drugs who get targeted by police then claim racism and oppression. 

No-one brings up the giant elephant in the room as to why police target minorities.

Can someone give me a quick summary of what was said? 

Literally nothing new was said by anyone. Not one opinion was swayed in any way. Butts were hurt. Teeth were gnashed.

I figure there will be at least 20 more pages of arguments from people who have agreed to drop it.

You know, the usual.

The definition of inequality:

A Caucasian male from a broken and below poverty level home works his ass off to get into the same medical program as an African American male raised in an above middle class home where both the mother and father are together.

 

One graduates with his doctorate owing nothing in education cost and is awarded a stipend each semester in attendance. The other takes on a job while in school and walks away with the same level of education and 190k in government loans. 

 

If no one can see the irony in this while touting equality rights then I can’t even have this discussion.

Man, I'm late to this party!  I haven't entirely read through this topic, but there are some who are saying things about black American history that doesn't make any sense.  Talking about all the stuff with the lack of access to the GI Bill and New Deal policies is something that doesn't effect us today, that it was many years ago and we have equal opportunity like everyone else.  Bull!  You don't even understand America is not even growing like it was back in the New Deal age.  Black Americans were locked out of society during a very critical period to build wealth.  We are now living in the day and age where inheritance determines your access to a quality life.  The median wealth for white families is well over 100k, yet for black families its around 1k and diminishing.  By 2053, its expected to hit zero for us.  So all the things Eric Reid is talking are true, and goes beyond it.  I applaud this brother for speaking on these things.
