I didn't ask about 'oppressed'.
Well that's not as simple as you think. You can have a minority of numbers, or minority of power, or a minority of equity for example.
So are wealthy black people in America not part of the 'minority' under your definition?
You still haven't explained what the term 'minority' means to you.
Marxists, or 'neo' Marxists, in my understanding, view the sphere of human relations as a history of repression and exploitation, of conflict between groups. These 'neo' Marxists, distinct from the usual, orthodox Marxists, disregard the class conflict and focus instead on race, sexual orientation, gender, nationality, culture etc. These people think only in terms of race (or, alternatively, gender etc.). They view history and society exclusively through the lens of race. They have a sickening obsession with race. The consequences of this is a hyper-focus and promotion of a 'victim hierarchy' whereby a person is elevated on account of the number of 'victim' classes they belong to (race, gender, sexual orientation). It is blatantly obvious in their values (https://blacklivesmatter.com/about/) that they promote completely unrelated 'victim' classes (such as transgenders) that they view everything completely through this victim class lens, just as a Marxist would traditional economic class.

The founders of the movement even admit to being 'trained Marxists':
“The first thing, I think, is that we actually do have an ideological frame. Myself and Alicia in particular are trained organizers,” she said, referring to BLM co-founder Alicia Garza. “We are trained Marxists. We are super-versed on, sort of, ideological theories"Black Lives Matter co-founder describes herself as ‘trained Marxist’
Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors said in a newly surfaced video from 2015 that she and her fellow organizers are “trained Marxists” – making clear their movement’s ideological f…
Might just be the worse take in the thread so far.
That is such a reach and it's obvious you're not arguing in good faith because you're not arguing at all.
How do you define 'minority'? Is it fixed or relative?
Well it is not my definition. But again it's not as simple as you think. Are wealthy black men a minority amongst wealthy men? Yes. In terms of general numbers, wealthy men of any race are in a minority.
It means you are against racism. Where have you been?
Mate, you just quoted a bunch of right wing populist youtubers and claimed it as fact. I just used their same argument against you. Don't blame me for that cognitive dissonance. Like I said go read a book on what Marxism actually is and tell me how BLM is a neo-Marxist organisation. You haven't done that yet.
So under your definition, are wealthy white men a minority?
Ah right, so if i dont bend the knee I'm all for racism? What a crock.
It's one definition. In terms of power and influence they have a stranglehold majority. Although China is loosening that grip.
I didn't say that. The fearful voices in your head did.
Im aware. Im just saying that if I dont yield to society and dont bend the knee I'm instantly labeled racist. This whole kneeling thing has really gotten out of control.
Within a few hundred years everyone is likely to be brown. So what? Here is the big problem with your argument - the colour of your skin doesn't make you who you are any more than the colour of your eyes, or hair or t-shirt.
No one has done that as far as I can see. People who kneel are just showing their commitment to a cause. They aren't pointing a finger at anyone who doesn't.
What are you talking about mate? I quoted a communist interviewing the founder who says on tape 'we are trained Marxists' hahahaha
BLM and the social politics of today argue the inverse of that, and that also is indisputable.
