So I think you are saying "You can't protest about racial injustice, if you are rich, use legal methods to avoid taxes, or are in any way associated with any organisation that has a slavery-related past." Is that right? Or, to put it another way, "You can only protest about racial injustice if you are poor, on PAYE, and have bought just about nothing in your life."

Or, to put it (yet) another way, "Whenever I see a protest about racial injustice, I am immediately looking for a way to bat it away, by saying things like, 'But he is rich' or 'But she is loud' or 'But he is only a cricketer' or 'But there was looting, too' or 'But what about black-on-black violence' or 'But what about those Muslims in Rotherham' or 'But I grew up poor, so I wasn't privileged' or .....

But, ahem, what about racial injustice....
