re: Fox News Anchor: "All Lives Matter" Is "Derogatory and Divisive"

That's assuming most black people don't want to help their community. Which is very ignorant on your part

Then where's the effort to take their communities back and address incidents of violence within them? Whenever there's an issue here in primarily black communities it's "we don't snitch".

I had two former students this year burned alive by the head of a local gang because they witnessed the murder. Their mother knew they were involved in the gang and encouraged it. She failed to cooperate with police because she wasn't "snitching". And then had the nerve to get on the news and blame the police for not "better protecting" her children. While the black community she belonged to embraced her behavior.

What gives? How exactly is an outside to their community supposed to fix that kind of systematic failure?

If there is a big benefit or something for breat cancer awareness. You don't run in telling everyone "oh yeah, but prostate cancer matters too, or brain cancer matters too!!"

Well no fricking shite, but you also don't claim that saying prostate cancer matters is derogatory and divisive.

Fox News Anchor: "All Lives Matter" Is "Derogatory and Divisive" quote: What is this world coming to? How can saying that "all lives matter" is in any way, shape, or form considered deorgatory or divisive, and surely will eventually be considered racist. if it's in response to BLM, then it's not that difficult of a concept

---

Perhaps previously but when police officers are being shot across the country it's time to be highlighting all lives matter rather than only focusing on black lives.

quote:

---

arguing "all lives matter" just ignores their specific point and/or tries to dismiss it entirely

---

Incorrect. It furthers the discussion to more than one demographic.

quote:

---

it does nothing for the discussion and is an attempt at being clever with faux outrage when it's criticized

---

There's nothing "faux" about my beef with BLM.

Sounds like cops to me

That article is the dumbest fricking thing I've ever seen.

quote:

---

No but you're acting derogatory by trying to tell people that their specific cause doesn't matter.

---

Are you that dull? Do you not know the definition of the word "all?"

By saying "all lives matter", that includes black people as well buddy.

So your equating all black people to a house fire?

Racist

one big reason that "movements" like BLM maintain their momentum is b/c of "bad arguments" that continue to fuel their fire. the underlying argument of BLM is that the community they're fighting for is not understood or represented. by making an argument that misunderstands the discussion or dismisses their representation as a movement is a self fulfilling prophecy giving them plenty of ammo to rally the base

quote:

that's a different discussion, though, in almost every circumstance

Not when it comes to police brutality, if that's truly the issue here.

quote:

the point is the outrage over people criticizing ALM

---

Nothing faux about my beef with that, either.

If you can stand there and do the mental gymnastics to assert that ALM is racist with a straight face, that's deplorable.

quote:

---

i have beef with BLM but i understand the actual discussion/point and trying to change the discussion (either to a discussion of ALM or just plain criticizing BLM indirectly), does nothing but create more division and advances nothing

---

BLM by its very nature is divisive and not constructive. At the very least ALM advances the discussion to a common issue that all races have had with police brutality at the same rate, instead of pigeonholing the discussion to one demographic.
