If someone says Black Lives Matter and still today you hear:
"Only Black Lives Matter" then yeah you're probably racist maybe best case you're oblivious
Its been explained a million times, in a million different places, by a million different people, in a million different ways. The subtext is too.

It's truly a shame that our great leader has created a climate where things like this happen. I'm sorry for you and your family.

This has been a chant throughout the protests
I guess blacks kind of control whether or not all black lives matter when they start caring about black lives taken by other blacks as much as they do when it's by white cops.

I guess I could see that happening to a white guy just as easily in the same situation. Not sure how race plays into that at all.
Which was my point, why is this incident considered racist if there is no evidence that racism was the reason he was detained in the way he was. I'm not suggesting it wasn't, but unless there is proof of racism, just seems like a bad decision by the officer to not detain him in another way.
And he should be in jail regardless of the race of the victim. It's a shame it happened, but I guess I don't default to everything happening being able to be attributed to racism.

I’ve been personally a victim of police brutality that was way over the line. And I’m lily white.
I back this movement and protest, but i am not sure the officer was racist, I know he was a piece of shite and the protest should focus on the militarization and brutality of police forces across the board of all races

One only needs to look and see if it is an election year. Blacks were killed by police in 2017, 2018, and 2019. Where were the riots?
But if one looks at the years 2016 and 2020; what would one find during the summer of those years?
Riots...
And that, my friend, should tell you that this has nothing to do with race. This is political...

So black lives>>>all other lives?
Aren't we all created equally?

How does it miss the point? It’s inclusive of everyone....blacks, whites, Hispanics, Asians, gays, straights, Christians, Muslims, etc.
Black lives don’t matter more than any of the others. To imply that they do is what’s racist.

The intentionally obtuse takes on this board lately are only rivaled by the intentionally obtuse people they despise in the BLM crowds.

If someone says Black Lives Matter why is it unacceptable to say All Lives Matter? The second one isn't dismissive, it's inclusive. Isn't inclusivity one of the mantras of the left? Black Lives Matter(too) is demeaning to black people, as it is understood that the default condition assigns lesser value to black people. So those who fight for Black Lives Matter (too) are, by definition, white supremacists. The movement is based on the fact that they believe that blacks are inferior. Why would anyone support this?

yea I wish I could. My wife is beyond sweet to everyone I mean like everyone loves her. I’ve never heard anyone say anything bad about her in over 23 years of marriage and she’s sobbing now because her niece thinks she’s a racist
Here is why these people irritate the shite out of me.
They want to us to listen to them. They want to educate us about their plight. Your niece has a great "teaching moment" here, and instead of using it, she has fallen into the mob mentality that she has learned on social media of labeling everything that moves as a racist. It is sad. It really is.
And while I'm thinking about it, your wife may want to delete the post where she said all lives matter. If she has a job...or if you have a job...the mob can get a hold of that and cause you a lot of trouble.
Sadly, I'm not kidding. Get rid of that post.

Sigh.
Black lives matter was born out of the belief their lives didn't matter to the police (rightly or wrongly).
Saying all lives matter, in and of itself, is not a problem, but the context matters. If you say it almost as to correct someone, it's tone deaf. If you say it sympathetically, as in, yes, black lives should matter just as all lives should matter, it's fine.
