Often people say that saying all lives matter is somehow racist because it is a rebuke to the phrase black lives matter. And they are correct that it is a rebuke to the phrase black lives matter. What they are not correct about is why

The phrase black lives matter comes with the obvious implication that there are some people that need to be told this. Which is absurd on its face and has no basis in fact

When someone says back that all lives matter that's the point. It's basically our way of saying no s*** black lives matter. I think all lives matter and that includes you and I didn't think otherwise before you came up with the stupid phrase. So stop implying that I or anyone else did.

You can't run around basically insulting people to their face and then demand that they repeat the insult back at you

I always remember Obama say even if it saves just one life it's worth it. He never said One Black Life.

And the obvious truth of the statement, “All lives matter,” is why elaborate reasons to not say it have become as commonplace as anything else on social media.

The phrase has to be anathematized for the radicals.

Notice how "black lives matter" is allowed to be separate from BLM.
Of course that isn't allowed anywhere else -

MAGA synonymous with Trump regardless of the statement.

You've got eagles of various design being aligned with NAZIS!!!

the okay symbol coopted for white supremacy.

but "black lives matter" gets unlimited distance from BLM

yeeeaaaahhhh, no.


because even putting BLM aside, the statement alone is insulting and divisive. Separating the words from the movement is not some kind of instant immunity from being clearly racist and anti-American.

Ive seen zero evidence black lives DONT matter.

There is more evidence that Black Lives don't matter among blacks then other races. Chicago being the epicenter of that evidence.

BLM is basically one of many aspects of identity politics employed by liberal progressive Democrats to divide and conquer.
We will have arrived as a society when people are simply recognized as human beings without race identification.

Even "All Black Lives Matter" is objectionable to BLM.
Mainly that's because BLM actually stands for Black Lying Marxists.

I would tend to put the lives of Antifa, John Brennan, James Comey, and quite a few members of the media and the deep state under a null and void category from this doctrine.

Black lives seem to matter to everyone except blacks.

Exactly.

The whole BLM movement was anti-White racism from the word "go", there is simply no denying it.

Why else do you think they get defensive when people start spouting FACTS about who is REALLY a danger to black people?

It’s much more simple for me. I won’t say black lives matter, because it’s a marxists organization trying to destroy America.

You’re using logic for an element that will insist that logic itself is an expression of white supremacy.

This element is fascist at its very core and will only recognize raw power.

I personally would prefer to see that raw power expressed in convictions and an overwhelming mandate at the ballot box.

But if it comes to it, cracked skulls would not hurt my feelings...

Life’s Choices Matter. If you’re a POS who puts your knee on the back of a child’s neck, your life don’t matter.
