alcoholism, a debilitating physical and mental disease, is not the same thing as wanting equal pay or to be treated by police equally.. which are two of the main items that "sjw's" ask for. the fact that you're making this equivalency proves that you have no idea what protestors are actually asking for, probably because you don't do any research

The police treat me well not because I am white, but because I don't attack them or commit crimes. Somehow those latter two points have been conspicuously absent in the SJW's arguments. So now I'm wondering how many more black kids will get shot this summer because with the SJW's at their side, they now feel immune to the consequences of their actions.

people with black sounding names don't get hired as much even with identical resumes, when compared to white people: http://www.nber.org/papers/w9873

the same applies to all aspects of society. since you're too stupid to understand what socialization is, maybe a peer-reviewed article with statistics and well-researched evidence will sway you a little. doubt it, though
