I support the basic principles behind the movement but IMO the proper way to ensure that underrepresented groups get their chance is to address the problem at its roots - improved education, improved political representation, improved access to utilities and financial support and so forth.

It’s a fine line - getting tired of having to meet people where they are when they’re standing in the shit.
Good on you for having the energy to keep it up.
