Isn't it interesting that your response here is questioning and perhaps dismissive?
If a minority were sharing their perspective about whatever their lived experience was with regards to racism, would you respond this way?
I'll answer that: no, you wouldn't.
Which very quickly lifts the curtain. The movement is not about empathy or understanding. It's about empathy and understanding for people you deem worthy of receiving it.

However... If it is the case that some stamens are more plausible than others maybe it's an effective heuristic to be skeptical of implausible claims.
