#BLACKLIVESMATTER

[Tubey]

Many more gems, makes you think you're reading The Onion:

If somebody can’t see the contradiction of saying all lives matter ... then they’re just wilfully being ignorant, and an asshole

"...the inference of “All Lives Matter” is, “I don’t think that black people and white people should be equal."

Erm... isn't that the exact opposite of what the inference of that phrase would be?

According to the previously-respected news site The Guardian, you are actually racist:

I'll have to disagree with The Guardian then.

Anyone trying to claim Britain is institutionally racist is telling a lie for political aims.

Its not.

Totally agree, it is insulting to what is widely regarded as the most tolerant and welcoming nation on earth.

 

[bol-uk]

Yeah, I meant people.

I wasn't going for full on bhuddism.

Am I the only one that thinks all lives matter (including rats).

Mate if you like rats then that's fine.

We're all equal in God's eyes.

I never said that it didn't exist. I've accepted that there are a number of intermingling social problems which mean black people in the USA are living poorer lives than white people, leading to far higher crime rates. I wouldn't call it racism as such, but it is definitely more difficult for black people to make something of their lives over there.

What I'm trying to say is that BLM is a joke of an organisation because it blames supposed "police racism" for the deaths of black youths, despite the fact that it can be easily explained with a bit of common sense/simple stats. I'm not even going into the wider problems faced by black Americans because they are far too complicated. BLM exacerbates these problems black people have by inflaming race relations. They are a negtive force in every aspect, built on lies to spread more lies. That doesn't help anyone.

Mate you're talking rubbish. Police racism is VERY real. Racism is real. Forget class, my black mates live in a different world than I do. I don't understand how pointing out and protesting the indefensible is "inflaming matters". Well guess, what some stuff needs to be inflamed.

By the way, word for word replace BLM with MLK and you sound like every Southerner during Jim Crow.

Of course. We should all be equal.

Black lives matter without doubt - all lives matter, regardless of colour.

But Black Lives Matter isn't saying that other lives don't. It's saying they are sick of being treated like their lives and their wellbeing doesn't matter as much as white lives. All lives matter, as a slogan, derails the conversation.

 

[dead_soft]

It's a mess, and the majority of people who are moderate, who don't pick sides and just want a quiet life, don't quite know how to deal with it.

It's easier to want a quiet life and get it when you're not in a minority group

Fair enough then.

EDIT: Since reading up on the subject, I have come to realise 'black lives matter' is not saying 'non black lives don't matter'. I wasn't clear on that aspect previously. Fully behind BLM here.
