A fork of Rural Dictionary
Someone that tries to divide white people from black and brown people by trying to push everyone else for equity, instead of acknowledging that there is already equity, that all these groups people are already equal without anything having to change for them to be equal as they are.
The instigators held a rally to further divide people into groups of white, brown, and black, since one human race was never going to be good enough for them not to find some shortcoming to pick at until everyone else gave in to the demands of the the group holding the rally, and wrote any new mandate they wanted written as a law or rule. They were the same kinds of people that always tried to divert people's focus from everyday reality to a Confederate statue nobody really paid much, if any attention to until the year everyone paid attention to it.
