I fully understand the sentiment. I'm a teacher, the other day I saw a kid getting bullied. A bunch of other kids were beating the crap out of him. He called out to me to help. I thought about it, but then I remembered that kid has really bad grades in my class, so I just responded "fix yourself before asking me to change", and turned my back.

Not at all similar but OK.

It's like cutting the grass when your house is on fire. You have a right to do that, but that isn't even remotely your biggest problem.

It's actually very similar.

Black people are saying that systematic racism is causing them pain and suffering, and that EVERYBODY needs to help to put an end to it. If you choose to meet that plea for help by saying "fix yourself before asking me to change", you lack basic compassion as a human being.
