And even if you have a friend who gives you a n-word pass, you do NOT have the right to use a words, that for centuries was used as a mean of opression, and now is being reclaimed by the opressed

These areas are marked as non-profitable for food-markets and groveres stores, this along with poor infrastructure gives the people little to no acces to healthy food.

A process where people from poor Urban areas is changed by wealthier people moving in, improving housing and attracting new business. Therefore the people already living there gets displaced.

Example: When companies buy a neighbourhood with black and poor people to renovate and then set a higher price.

EX: When you are against US colleges having rules about accepting a minimum amount of POC's, usually because they see it as not being about merit, but about being "inclusive" and "politically correct".

It denies racism and sets focus on everyone instead of the group that is actually hurting.

Example: saying All Lives Matter is like giving a bandage to every kid on the playground, even though only one kid fell and got hurt.

Example: saying All Lives Matter, when Black Lives Matter is the primary focus.
