Somebody enlighten my privileged white arse on why #AllLivesMatter is racist

I genuinely don't know and haven't really cared to know until now. I'm not trying to troll - I really am interested in why society believes #BlackLivesMatter isn't racist and #AllLivesMatter is.

I don't know, but it appears the cool thing to do is hate you right now.
I'll be downvoting.

Huh?

Because you touch yourself at night.

Because white people are afraid of being called racist on social media.

Its not racist, people are just stupid

it isn't racist, but when someone says "black lives matter" and you immediately counter with "all lives matter", it does belittle the meaning of the point the person was trying to make, no matter how silly you might think it is
I have no idea why people are getting so upset about this on both sides
the #blacklivesmatter shite is over the top, but so is the other side constantly trying to counter
it would be the same as telling a someone that posts #bluelivesmatter that "all people that work lives matter"

Because when you say All Lives Matter you aren't putting the emphasis on BLACK.
Who the frick cares about BLM anyway? It was started and continues today based on Lies.

It isn't racist.
But anytime someone replies 'hashtag anything' in response to a post, it's highly probable there is an intentional touch of humor. If the topic has something to do with race (and #alllivesmatter is definitely a play on #blacklivesmatter), then it's almost impossible not to offend someone. That pretty much sums it up.

Because it takes focus away from the fact that #blacklivesmatter. #alllivesmatter is implied, but given the unfairness that young African American males are subjected to by white dominated society, we need to be reminded that #blacklivesmatter too.

Good one. Never gets old.

My issue with BLM is this, of course they matter.
That's like saying titties, beer, and dogs are awesome.
It didn't need to be said.
I find it curious that Black Lives only matter when they are killed by non black people though.

not sure I'd call it racist but people who say that completely miss the point of BLM.
they arent saying black lives are more important than everyone else, they are saying they feel that black people arent treated equally by the police.

Not sure if its racist, but it certain derails the conversation.
It would be like you starting a conversation with a friend about LSU football, and all he talks about is the QB situation at alabama.
Its a tried and true tactic to not engage on the topic.
Also, the whole thing about black on black crime being brought up does the same. Sure its an issue, but society ignored it until we talked about police brutality. Its just flat ridiculous.

When you say #alllivesmatter, you're essentially saying that black lives do not matter more than all lives. But they do. Would you go to a cancer park and yell flu needs parks too? You wouldn't. Rosa Parks had five buses but neither were particular fast, but you wouldn't hear that on Faux News. Good job, white America.

Your mistake is assuming that the BLM movement is interested in having a conversation.

I really believe they do want to have a conversation on the topic. Its just not something that many people feel comfortable talking about, as if you listen to their premise it can really frick up your world view. which is the point.

Can't really help you with this. I know almost nothing about #BlackLivesMatter and I damn sure don't know enough to respond with #AllLivesMatter. That could be because I'm not a high school girl that communicates in hashtags and I don't use facebook or twitter.

Only gays don't like me. Is your downvote your way of coming out to the OT community?
