The phrase “all lives matter” is viewed by some as a tone-deaf and racist response to “black lives matter” — the rallying cry behind the nationwide movement to fight police brutality and systemic discrimination against black people. This week, a Sandra Bland mural in Canada with the words “black lives matter” was defaced to say “all lives matter.” And Wednesday morning, such a defacement was discovered in the Washington area: A Bethesda church says its “black lives matter” sign outside was ripped to simply read “lives matter” sometime between late Tuesday and early Wednesday. “It was vandalized in a particularly virulent way,” said Nancy McDonald Ladd, the pastor at River Road Unitarian Universalist Congregation. “The word ‘black’ was literally cut out of the sign.”

Just like its been said, this is just a bunch of racists that's screaming black lives matter in the name of "social justice".
It must feel pitiful to feel guilty for being white
Personally, it feels great

So what if we get all nihilist on them with signs that say "no lives matter"? Will that be racist?

I love how ubiquitously that phrase is being used now. It's comic relief now

Whats the breaking point here? When do people, of all colors, with a little bit of common sense decide enough is enough?

What about the phrase:

Black lives matter, but not when it's black on black crime!

Why wouldn't we admit that we've been wrong About this whole race thing? Repeatedly wrong. Is it too much to stomach that maybe, we just don't get it and that its okay to defer when it's comes to equality?

We can't dictate how they express they sentiments towards our abuse. Sad, but true. Does that bother too many of us?
